Football season brings life lessons

We watched the season opener last night with my mother.

We all had a good laugh over the lessons we teach our children when watching football, especially the Vikings.

Important things we are teaching Izze:

Loyalty--- no matter WHAT game your watching, if daddy yell's touchdown, sound off the VIKINGS HORN!

Unconditional love ---even when your team SUCKS, you love them

Disappointment happens---again and again and again

Swearing is not appropriate---unless used towards a blind referee over a horrible freaken call, or a coach who goes for two points instead of one thus losing $50 in the family pocket

NEVER say "go packers"---if your parents over hear something that sounds like that, tell them you were asking for CRACKERS.

Noisy and distracting toys WILL get you banished to the basement

The best way to earn daddy's approval is to INSIST on wearing your Vikings gear when you wake up in the morning
