Pick me! Pick me!
Commentary
The children gather on the playground for a game: perhaps kickball, or basketball, or touch football. All the eligible players line up in front of the two captains, and then the great process begins: picking teams.
Perhaps some of the kids stand quietly, even shyly, waiting, hoping to be picked. Not the eager ones, though. They do not stand quietly. They raise and wave their hands! "Hey, over here! Pick me! Pick me!"
