Dear Keiva: I plead guilty to conflating my childhood and that of my son.

conflating family history
Memories mix easily in blood lines but, you've got to hand it to Keiva. He was pretty swift in picking that up.

Yep, he snaffled it in mid-air just like old Tim.

We can all agree that's bunk, right?Wrong! Imagining greatness is one of the glories of childhood. Too bad we have to grow up, huh?You just go ahead and define 'growing up' anyway you'd like, but no need to speak for the rest of *us!  Frisbee anyone?

"Snaffled", that's an interesting word, wwh. A snaffle is a horse's bit, as I have just discovered, but when used as a verb, it means to "snap up" or "grab up" ... just as you used it. Very picturesque ... and particularly apt when applied to "Old Tim" and his fielding feats.
If Old Tim had intercepted a toss to someone else, would you say he had snarfed it?
I must confess I thought a "snaffle" was a bungled mess, but I guess that's a "snafu".
