Like Father, Like Son
We are watching the World Cup, as I
type.
Davis is routing for Germany. Why? "Because they are in Germany, Mama. All the World Cup busses go to Germany. And they are the white shirt team."
As we watched, he decided that #20 was his favorite player. Dana added, "yes, Germany is playing '4-4-2' and #20 is one of the 2s"
Davis wasn't content to just watch #20. He wanted to BE #20. So, we got out a fabric marker and changed his white Hanes T-Shirt into an official Germany Soccer Jersey.
Checking uniform in mirror.
#20 just got a yellow card. uh oh.
Back to play.
Germany almost scored!
Darn...didn't go in.
In 2 years, Davis will enter Kindergarten. If this continues, he will be the only boy in the class who will not be able to name a single Green Bay Packer player. (In Wisconsin, that is considered sacrilege.) But he'll easily rattle off the names of most World Cup "futbol" stars.
We are a family of geeks. It is official. Geeks beget geeks.
Back to soccer....
