"A Closed Mouth..."
Summary: Harm's big mouth gets him in big trouble.
Note: It was great to get reviews from you all after not posting for so long! Thank you CapriceAnn Hedican-Kocur, starryeyes10, GuitarVixen, Abigaile, and Flamingo1! I've wanted to write this story for a while, but waiting for the Olympics to start so that the story fit with the real world seemed to be a good idea.
Disclaimer: Harm, Mac, etc. are not mine, so don't sue me because I have an imagination and too much free time.

Mac was sitting across the table from Mattie at the girls' apartment, proof-reading an essay for the teenager. A few feet away, Harm was intently watching the Olympics. Without thinking, he commented, "How is beach volleyball an Olympic sport? I mean, a couple of women running around in bathing suits, hitting a ball?"
Two pairs of female eyes glared back at him.
"Are you saying volleyball isn't a sport?" Mattie bristled.
"Or women aren't good enough to compete in the Olympics?" Mac added.
"I'm just saying that because it's on a beach, it's doesn't seem so Olympic-worthy," Harm stammered, trying to talk his way out of it rather than admitting his error. "And women can be just as athletic as men."
Mattie turned to Mac with a thoughtful smirk. "I think some women can be more athletic. What do you think, Mac?"
Grinning, Mac replied, "I think you're absolutely right. How should we prove this?"
