Another Pedo-ism

by Amy

When we lived overseas, my boys would walk in to the room where Brad was watching/listening to a sporting event and ask, "Who are we rooting for?"  They were happy to cheer with Brad and support whoever he liked.  Now, they seem pretty capable of making their own decisions....

On Jan. 2, we were watching the Stanford vs Oklahoma State football game.  Brad was rooting for OSU.  But, instead of pledging his allegiance to his father, and OSU, Peter declares that he's for Stanford.  Assuming (correctly) that he had never heard of Stanford before that game, I asked why.  He said, "I like the name....it has a 'ford' in it, like mine - Peter Bradford."  Really??  Yes, really.  He rooted for Stanford until the bitter end -- well, until he had to go to bed.  Crazy!
