Football and Jailhouse Refs

Aaron has never shown any interest in sports at all, so it surprised us last year when he wanted to watch football with us.  It's been interesting, to say the least, to try to explain the rules to him and to hear his take on all that he sees and hears as he watches the games.  Here are examples of some of his comments:

    "So who are you voting for in this game?"

    "Why are those men wearing those striped suits?"

    "Those referees look like they've been in jail."

    "Those cheerleaders are weird."

    "Those people who are yelling are crazy."


    "Why do some of those football players have long hair?"


    "Those referees move their hands funny."

    "Why did those people paint their bodies?"

And so we now watch football through Aaron's eyes and it's really quite entertaining.  Especially the part about the referees being in jail - but I'll stop there.

  1. I don't like football, but maybe Aaron could help me see some fun in it!
