I sit Casey down:
"OK, Casey, see, there's a big basketball contest that starts today. And Grandma and I run ... well, it's called a basketball pool, and what you do is you pick who you think is going to win in a bunch of basketball games, and whoever guesses right wins. So I'm going to tell you the names of some basketball teams, and you're going to try to guess the winners, OK?"
Casey, who's been staring at me with wide eyes throughout this whole explanation, looks thoughtful for a moment. He also seems hesitant and skeptical.
"Well ... OK ... but I don't think I'm very good at playing basketball in the water. But I'm good at playing basketball on land."
He got more into the spirit of the thing once I explained it wasn't that kind of pool.
