Tetherball and the Bully

Aidan and Gracie both LOVE tetherball. Aidan spends his morning and lunch recess on the tetherball court, as well as any time in which he is lucky enough to get to go to after school daycare.
Gracie plays tetherball at school too, most often with Old Kelly, New Kelly, Lolly and Lolly. Oh, I didnt mention that? Yes, Aidan recently found another Lolly, so now we have Lolly that plays music and Lolly that doesnt play music.
So anyway, Gracie, the Kellys and the Lollys play tetherball on a mini tetherball court. Gracie once tried to play on a regular sized court, but it was much too hard because he had to jump so high and he got really tired, and also it hurt really bad when the ball would smack him. I can picture Gracie plastered to the ball spinning round and round the pole, huge smile on his face as always.
Gracie and the Kellys and the Lollys all play nicely together but unfortuanately they sometimes have to deal with the school bully. A few days ago, the bully wrote "Boo you stink" on the tetherball and it wont wash off. Never one to be intimidated, Gracie informed the bully that he was being rude and that it was very rude to write on the school's tetherball and this made the bully cry and say he was sorry because nobody ever wants to be called rude.
