A Parenting Dilemma

[Bigred_inSD]

My son now 15 months threw his husker sippy cup and broke the cap a couple days before the season started. I often wonder if this crazy season isn't some sort of karma

I'm profoundly deaf and I'm always happy to hear about couples teaching their little ones sign language They really learn fast at that age.

My son in the 90s for some gawd awful reason said he like the Buffalos. Took him to the next Nebraska game.

 

 

Problem solved.

Can you trade him for different kid?

 

 

 

Just in case

That's not a HIPPO violation!

Heard your girlfriend was.

As parents, you will all undoubtedly agree that one of our most important jobs is to educate our children as Husker fans. As babies, my wife and I taught our children basic sign language, such as "hungry," "more," "please," "thank you," "touchdown," and "throw the bones." They know how important it is to wear red on Saturdays, and when we visit my wife's relatives in Missouri, they know that they are supposed to act superior to them.

 

So I was very pleased this morning when my 4 year old son asked me who the Huskers were playing against this weekend. Yes! He's interested in the game! So I tell him that the Huskers are playing at Michigan, and it's a pretty big game. Then he asks what Michigan's team is called.

 

My blood suddenly runs cold. Although he is showing a gradual interest in Husker football, his number one passion, as with most 4 year olds, is superheroes. So I gulp, and tell him that Michigan is called the Wolverines. His face lights up with excitement and asks if they wear yellow and blue like Wolverine the superhero. Crap.

 

At the end of the discussion, in which I tried to persuade him that these Wolverines have nothing to do with the superhero, and that we are Huskers, he said he wanted them to tie. He's too young to understand college football's overtime rules, so I let that one slide. At the end he said he hopes they both win, but even if they lose, he said, "It's okay, I will want them to win next week."

 

At least he embodies the motto of: "Not the victory but the action; Not the goal but the game; In the deed the glory."

 

But seriously, I need to burn all of his superhero toys now and replace them with Husker memorabilia, right?

 

My suggestion is to drop him off at Boys Town and have another kid.
