A month or two ago, they set up a volleyball net in the field at JSS, and playing has become one of Dolly's favorite things to do. I enjoy playing, too, but Dolly is almost fanatical about it. She's pretty good, and likes to win, but her favorite thing to do is laugh at the other players. Sometimes she laughs so hard that she is unable to hit the ball on the next serve because she is still laughing.
Some of the players are pretty funny. One apologizes to his supervisor everytime his mis-hits, whether the are on the same team or not. We figured out that he is apologizing for the general inconvienience and disrupting the flow of the game. Once he even apologized for one of my bad shots. Other people won't move even a single step to hit the ball, and some just move funny. So, Dolly spends as much time laughing as actually playing.

She also makes very funny faces when she hits the ball. The volleyball is pretty hard, and especially when we first started, we would get bruises on our arms. Dolly hasn't gotten the overhead hit down, so she is dependent on the more painful arm hit, and she makes a face of anguish and pain as she prepares for the shot. She also makes an angry face if she is going to hit the ball, but its not as funny.

She's also the only girl who plays. The other women are certainly allowed to play, but it seems not to be culturally acceptable for them to participate.
