I Win!

Today I took Jackson down to Northfield. The plan was to see the women's/men's basketball double-header and then go to the retirement party for Leon, the long-time Athletic Director.

In the car, Jack kept asking if we were going to watch football.

Me: "No, it's basketball. We're going to watch basketball games."

Jack: "Why not football?"

M: "Because they don't play football right now."

J: "So what are we going to watch?"

M: "Basketball games."

J: "Mom, when you say 'basketball games' I think you mean two of them. You should just say 'basketball.'"

M: "Yes, Jack, I DO mean two of them. The women play and then the men play."

long pause

J: "I've never SEEN men play basketball."

I win.
