Michigan hosted Michigan State this week. Both teams were undefeated and ranked (MSU #17, UM #18) so there was a TON of hype surrounding the game. I chose to not take the kids (Emily already had a babysitter at her house so I added my kids to her mix) and that proved to be a bad decision, since Michigan has won every game they’ve gone to this year – which is every game that they could realistically make (I’m not crazy enough to drag them on a 6-hr each way road trip to Indiana last weekend).
ANYWAY – this week I told Mallory that my favorite team is Michigan State.
She responded by telling me “Well, then I can’t be your friend”. When I asked her why I can’t root for that team, she said “becausssse, that wouldn’t be good”.
The kids were asleep when I picked them up after game last night and when I asked her this morning if Michigan won, she said this: “Michigan won for a little while, but then the green team won”.
A couple of things. 1) She’s so smart. 2) I’m glad she didn’t say “those *bleeps* from E Lansing won” because then I’d have to talk to Miss Header about her choice of words. LOL.
The kids were all engaged for the first quarter of the game, which was nice. After clapping (all done by me), jumping off of the couch, and yelling, I asked Shane “Do you think I really like football or I’m just crazy?” I will let you guess what he said…
I kept updating M while we were playing outside during the game. She kept going “No! YUCKY GREEN!” I decided I should keep the swearing IN my head.
