Writing what you "think " you know

I wrote a short characterization of of a girl playing basketball. Now I played basketball in the the 70's and some how I got confused as to the number of players of on a team. There are 5 players on the girls team now but for some reason I put 6. Now where did I get that? I had to find out was I crazy was there ever 6 on a team? There was but it was when my MOTHER played basketball, not me. Funny how your mind plays tricks on you like that. So I learned a very valuable lesson: When you write you know, may sure you know what you are era you are writing in.

Loved spending time with you today... you should have come home with me and spent the rainy afternoon housebound with five kids... now that would give you something to write about. Murder and mayham.....
