Amongst professional athletes, there is a type of teamwork known as an “assist.”

Here, instead of one player taking all the credit for scoring all the points, they work as a team to score even more points together.

For instance, perhaps one player will nab the ball, but then hand it off (or throw it, or hit it, or kick it, or head-butt it) to another player who is closer to the end where all the points are.

This strategy is also a great way to ensure you don’t spend all your energy scoring points (so as to have more energy later for consuming your victory waffle supper).

Other direction, Grandpa. Other direction, other dir..... — Other direction, Grandpa. Other direction, other dir…..

Hmmm. Well, I'll give Grandpa an "A" for effort, but overall I think our team "assist" still needs some work. — Hmmm. Well, I’ll give Grandpa’s “assist” a solid “A” for effort.

In the meantime, I'll just keep my eye on my wicker from this comfy perch on my personal Tall Tree.... — And on the bright side, I still have lots of energy left for consuming victory waffles….
