No question where she gets it
I called home today and in the course of my phone call, the mention of asking B for a Brett Favre jersey for Christmas came up with my mom. She mentioned that since they lived in Packer country it might be a little easier to come up with a jersey than it would for B.
Anyway, what I forgot to mention was my hopes for a replacement Cheesehead, the one that replaces the one that my sweet little then-2-year-old nephew peed in right after the Packers won the Superbowl waaaay back when. So tonight as we watched the end of the very exciting win over the Chargers, I had to call home to check in and reassure them that I still am a Cheesehead at heart, and that I still love my Packers. But I couldn’t get through on the home phone so I figured they were on another call with probably one of my brothers also calling to remind them that even though they just live in the next town in Wisconsin, they, too, are still Cheeseheads at heart. So I called my dad’s cell phone, and got through with him and excitedly asked, “How about dem Packers?!” and made my Cheesehead request.
To which he replied that we’ll have to talk about it some other time, because right now he’s watching the Packers game and listening to the Brewers game and announcing at the race track and talking to me on the phone. All at the same time.
I might have to book him an appointment with the developmental therapists that are helping us with Anja while they’re here this winter.

Ahhh… a very fond memory indeed. Little Matthew at nine months old (FYI, he was born in 1996…Superbowl, January 1997) peeing straight up and over his head into YOUR cheesehead. We laughed our arses off. Just so you know Karyn, we really debated on whether or not we were going tell you he did that!! If I remember correctly you were not in the room at the time. I guess we couldn’t be that cruel:)
GO PACKERS!!!!

MY sister lives right outside of Madison. I can get you a Cheesehead if you want one!!!
Dad
Me, Mr. Multitasker. Did I mention I was keeping track of the NASCAR race at that time, too?
YOUR Packers might have won (woo-hoo!), but MY Brewers lost and are now out of the pennant race (waaaaaaaaaaaaa).
And Matt Kenseth blew an engine, pretty much screwing up HIS chances at winning the championship. (IT-shay!)
And I just kept announcing the Slinger races. And talking to my favorite daughter on the phone.
Dan
out of the pennant race??? 7 games left at home where they are 20 some games over .500. I don’t know where I get it from, but I’m wearing my Brewers hat to work, and my ass is firmly planted on the bandwagon. BTW, cubs have 6 left on the road and a 3.5 game lead. Out of the pennant race……GEEESH!
Dad
A positive attitude is great, don’t get me wrong. I certainly hope you are right.
But…realistically, we need a MIRACLE.
Just wait ’till ‘08!
