As you can imagine things are pretty tense in this house these days. Here we are deep in Red Sox country with, of all things, a Yankee fan in the house. The girls, much to their father's chagrin, are even Red Sox fans. This week, even at school, they have been subject to the mania that is the play offs. This morning all the children in their elementary school sang "Take me out to the ball game" instead of "It's a grand old flag". It is pure insanity!
The girls and I have to live with the burden and terrible secret that we have a Yankees fan living in the house but Sophie may not be able to handle it anymore. Apparently on the bus today the kids were singing something like "Who's gonna win? The Red Sox! Who's gonna lose? The Yankees! Who do we love? The Red Sox! Who do we hate? They Yankees!" Anyway, this song pulled a few heartstrings on Sophie. She came in and immediately started to cry. "Everybody hates Daddys team! Poor Daddy!" She really felt bad. But, when asked if this meant she was changing her loyalties she said "No!" But, she'll gladly hold Daddy's hand tonight when the Yankees LOSE!!!!
As for Hannah, she has no sympathy for dear old Dad the poor old girl has become a diehard Red Sox fan. Her heart is sure to be broken!
