More brainwashing

I know everyone thinks we are brainwashing our kids, what with all the GO BLUE-ing and MICHIGAN-ing and BOO “insert whoever is next on the schedule”-ing that goes on around here.

But this takes the cake.

Rick’s usual shirt of choice (on workdays anyway) is a dark blue adidas shirt with the block M. But since Michigan had a game on September 11, adidas put out a special issue of the shirt, with the stars & stripes filling in the block M, instead of just a solid yellow block M.

Well, tonight at dinner, Mallory pointed to the flag-filled block M and said “that red and then white and then red and then white is just like the red restaurant!”

As in TGI Fridays, the restaurant with the red & white striped awnings, that Mallory calls the red restaurant.

I think it’s funny enough that her favorite restaurant is the red restaurant, but that she sees the awning in an American flag is hysterical.
