On Michigan Football

The 5 y.o.: I’ve had enough of football. Let’s watch that Santa Wipeout that was just on TV. That looked cool.
The 9 y.o.: We can’t. It was an ad for a show that will be on later.
The 5 y.o.: Well put on the Internet. Maybe mommy can find it.
The 13 y.o.: The show isn’t available until it comes on TV.
The 5 y.o.: Ok. When is it going to be on TV?
The 9 y.o.: I have no idea.
The 13 y.o.: Yeah, no idea. So that ad didn’t really WHOA! TOUCHDOWN for Michigan!!!
The 5 y.o.: Guess I’d better learn to love football. {sigh}
