Football!

Background: I am from the Pittsburgh (PA) area. You Know What That Means, at least when it comes to football ...

Neither of the boys is big on sports. David takes karate lessons; neither of them is into any kind of ball sport; they do like to hike.

I am (see "Background") a Steelers fan. They boys were over the Saturday and Sunday of the last two playoff series games. I have a Terrible Towel, and made David wave it and yell, "Yea Steelers." (Also had to explain some of the game to him - no snickering at me, Siblings!!).

At the end of the evening (after the win over the Jets), David was on the phone with his mother, letting her know we were about to come home. She must have asked about the game; David said the Steelers had won. AND THEN he said:

THE STEELERS ARE THE ONLY REASON I WATCH FOOTBALL.

Go, David!  Grandma has succeeded in educating you well.
