IN: I used to be great at throwing a baseball . I went to a small elementary school where there were nt enough boys to field a full team and my parents never let me sign up for Little League , but I could always find someone to play catch with at recess . These are some of my fondest memories , and I m still friends with one of the boys I played with .
Why may I have not played in Little League ?

OUT: Since I was a girl , my parents did n't think it was appropriate for me to play it .

IN: The tempura there was exactly how it should be : light , airy , crisp , and not greasy . Too many Chinese places claim all sorts of tempura fish and vegetables on the menu and serve up something battered and fried . Making real Japanese tempura is a delicate thing , involving ice cold water being mixed with flour and spices . The shrimp in the spider rolls was particularly good , but what really stood out for me was the fried banana dessert .
What may be the reason I know so much about tempura ?

OUT: I am Japanese .

IN: She alerts me and TIm of this and we all freak out . Naturally , we start wondering if there 's a ghost in the apartment . Deciding we 're all too exhausted , we all go to bed and I spent the next hour anxious about the energy of the apartment . At 10AM the door bell rings .
What may happen after the door bell rings ?

OUT:
No one is at the door like it 's a ghost .
