Who Knew?

Who knew I was so competitive? Okay, anyone who has ever watched ME watch my children play sports, or who has played a game with me or who has watched the Olympics with me. Today since we're all sick we laid around and watched the Olympics and regardless of the sport I found myself screaming at the tv. My husband who was home sick has apparently never seen a crazy blond woman yelling at strangers on the screen to spike the ball or stab someone with the sword (I don't know the proper fencing lingo). Zach who doesn't have much of a competitive streak just shakes his head with amazement but Bailey joined in on the fun. My favorite was when China won a race and Jacob yelled out, "China!!!! I hate China!!!!!" Apparently he has strong loyalty to the red, white and blue. My dad used to do this. I would watch in amazement as he seemed to transform into a mad man watching BYU football or basketball. He'd pace the room, pull his hair, mutter to himself and even throw an expletive or two into the air. I video taped him once knowing for sure I would win the 100,000 on AFV. I never submitted it, I decided to sit on it for my retirement. I guess it is hereditary so I apologize know to my grandchildren who will no doubt find themselves banned from the sidelines of all major sporting events.
