How big is Manny?

Me: Hey Nico, what happens when Manny Ramirez hits a HR?

Nico:



Me: Exactly!



Me: Nico, what does Adrian Peterson do when trying to push a defender away?

Nico:





That's my boy!

I'm glad to see that even though you have moved, you're raising a Vikings fan!

(And he is sooooo cute!)

Shannon and I have a negotiated settlement in that we raise our child(ren) as Vikings and Red Sox fans. Such negotiations are critical for mixed marriages.

Heh. I have a friend on the East Coast who is training her daughter into the Ways Of The Packers for much the same reason.

I fear for your child. Clearly I must bring him home with me and raise him as a Cubs fan.

Hasn't he suffered enough? I mean, until October, he had waited his whole life, nearly TEN MONTHS, to see the Red Sox win a championship. The way things are going, he might have to wait all the way until NEXT OCTOBER to see them win another. Poor thing. That's like half his lifetime away! And you want to make him a Cubs fan?

Oh yeah. Indoctrination is key.

I hate sports, but that child is incredibly cute, no matter what evil conspiracy you're inducting him into.
