players and telling them I didn't want them to be too close during a drill we were doing. I started to say in my mind that I didn't want them to be all crowded up like they were playing in a telephone booth. Halfway through the sentence I thought - they are so young, I bet they don't even know what a telephone booth is. As I was finishing the sentence, I was thinking of something small like a telephone booth that they could relate to.

What came to my mind was a cry closet. (Cougarboard is the only place I have ever heard that term used.) So, I said "Don't get all crowded up like you all need to be inside a cry closet." They all looked at me like I was speaking a different language and started asking what a cry closet was. I was trying to explain what I thought it was (because I have actually never seen one in person) and finally just said to not play like they are in a tiny, enclosed space. I told them I was going to say telephone booth, but I didn't know if they knew what that was.

I was told they knew exactly what it was because they had seen them in the old-time movies like from the 80s and 90s.
