Family football in the living room

About 2-3 nights a week after dinner, my 3 yr old son and 6 yr old daughter get together to ruffhouse it around with the football. Our game is pretty simple, I toss it into the living room from the foyer and who ever gets and secures the rock, gets a point. First one to 10 wins.

Well tonight, my daughter says that she wants to throw it up for me and my son. I'm down with it, a little cross training couldn't hurt. So my handicap vs my 3 yr old son is that I have to play w/ only one arm and I can't leave my knees. So we get going and of course I gotta let the little guy get a few and we're tied at 6. Then my daughter mixes it up, she says, "okay Daddy, you are Nebraska and Cody, you are the Longhorns" I LOLed, but then threw the gameface on and the gloves came off. I crushed the next three points to go up 9-6. My son is pissed, at this time my wife comes down stairs and asks the question no father wants to hear when one of her young is crying, 'what are you guys doing and why is he crying?'

Long story, short, after discovering our little 'arrangment' my wife made me throw the game in favor of my son's happiness. Hope the little chit sleeps good tonight, 'casue tomorrow its game on before she gets home.

:bonez :bonez :bonez

 
Could you have least asked the Boss to let you and your son switch teams and let your Son be a Husker and win the game!!! :laughpound

 
lol, nice post centex

My 4 yr old and me play football in an 'oklahoma' style drill. He trys to get around dad (on my knees and with one arm) and score touchdowns. Well long story short i have been training him for years now in the way of the Tiger. ;) He chants MU chants. He immediatly breaks out into a Billy 'white shoes' Johnson touchdown dance when he hears the MU fight song. (which by the way leads to some good laughs when my phone rings in a public place). We play with a tiger football and his favorite toy is his Truman the Tiger.

This last weekend I was helping to spread the hate of the terrorist jawhawks as we watched the game. At half we played our football game. Well after scoring on 4th down he stood up and yelled "GO JAYHAWKS!!" I just stood there....He started laughing. I then spanked him and sent him to bed early. :) LOL

Not really, but I did tell him that those where bad words and he would get in trouble with mom if she heard him say that again. The rest of the night it was "GO TIGERS" and "MIZ...ZOU". :lol:

Haha, nice work fro...I've been pumping Husker YouTube videos down his throat all season...there's the one with our tunnelwalk that I'll play and he instantly recognizes it as soon as the music hits. Most of the time he'll drop what he's doing and charge me like an OLB as soon as he hears it, that is if he isn't working one of his snackpacks(kid has the metabolism of an Olympic swimmer).

Yes, I am fully utilizing my power to brainwash my kids before thier Longhorn or Aggie buddies get to them.

nothing wrong with that! :) I am in the same boat living in Nebraska. I have a good group of friends that are all Husker fans. Plus my brother-in-law is a Sooners fan. They try often to sabatoge my teachings. But the force is strong in this young one. :lol:

Man, I am completely against people trying to teach kids bad words. My wife's best friend used to try to teach my daughter to say sh#t like "Purple Power" and "Go Cats" Living in KC, Its always someone trying to get my kid to spell Missouri wrong or Jam with Chalk with a make believe bird. Ugh.

A bunch of kids were drawing jayhawks on their Indian Wear they made out of paper bags in her kindergarten class. She also drew a jayhawk, just upside down and crossed out. Put a bunch of big red N's on the back as well as some arrowheads with a red KC in the middle for good measure. She's a good girl.
