This Week's Erinisim

Prior to going into work today, I had a moment to talk to Erin, who had only been up for about 10 minutes.

"OK Erin. I have to head in to work... but I'll be home early today. Do you remember why I am coming home early today?"

"Ummm, no Dadoo."

"Here's a hint. I'm coming home to watch something with you and Mommy."

"Oh yeah. The Jets."

"That's right. Who's gonna win the game today?"

"Ummm, the Jets?"

"That's right! Are you excited?"

"Nope."

"Nope!?!?! But this is a big game. You know what happens if the Jets win today, don't you"

This is when Erin let out her usual disgusted and impatient sigh. The she replied in a disinterested monotone.

"They get to go to the Super Bowl."

"Hey! That's right! How'd you know that? Did you talk about it in school."

In that same monotone, "No Dadoo."

"Well, did Mommy talk to you about it?"

"No"

"OK... how about when you were at Grandma's and Grandpa's after school?"

Sigh... "No Dadoo."

"Well, then how'd you know about the Super Bowl?"

"UMM... DUH Dadoo... LONG GRAM and LONG GRAMP."
