Eagles

My husband (ADG) is a die-hard NY Giants fan - season ticket holder, has numerous pieces of apparel with the Giants logo and/or in Giants colors, etc.  So naturally he loathes does not care for the Philadelphia Eagles (among other teams).  You can only imagine how devastated he was to here Princess declare that she likes the Eagles, because they wear green and white "outfits".  He has tried to persuade her to change her mind but she will have none of it.
Yesterday on the ride home from school Princess asked me "who do we vote for?"  I was thinking politics (of course... when else do you vote)... she followed up with "is it the Steelers or the Jets?"... I responded that Daddy was rooting - not voting - for the Steelers on Sunday, because he does not like the Jets.  She told me again that she likes the Eagles... then she told me why she really has to like the Eagles:

"I like the Eagles because I like birds and if I did not like the Eagles that would mean I don't like birds, and I really like birds."

ADG did not agree with her theory but has decided to let it go... until September.

Kid say the darndest things...

Monday, January 17th - Martin Luther King Day - On the ride home from school I ask Princess what she learned that day - she said they talked about Dr. King and then she asked me "Did he get shooted? because that's what's my teacher said - he got shooted!"  I thought about explaining what happened, and about how some people are bad and do bad things... then I decided to go with "If that is what your teacher said then it must be true."  Then she changed the subject... thankfully!
