MMQB's

We went to our Life Group last night and Scott and several of the men ate downstairs in front of the big screen TV, watching the end of the Broncos game (they won, BTW). I have a feeling this will be standard MO this fall for the men in our group.

Anyway, talk at the breakfast table this morning centered around football stats. Scott told me last night that Zac was reeling off his own statistics during the game yesterday. For example: "Dad, by this point in the season last year, the Broncos were 1 and 2, and the Patriots were 3 and 0" (NOTE: I made those stats up. I have no ideas what they really were...but Zac does--so ask him for the correct ones). Scott was amazed he could remember that stuff. I can think of a time when I could remember countless facts too, but that was back before birthing children eroded my grey matter. But...back to the table talk. Zac was discussing the current standings. "The Bills, the Broncos and maybe the Cowboys, are all undefeated," Zac was saying (again, don't hold me to the accuracy of that statement...reduced grey matter and all...) Then I hear this little voice, "What about the Packers?"

I turned around in amazement. "Zac," I said, "did Blane just say that?"

He grinned and said, "Yes."

Ai-yi-yi. Is this how early football mania sets in? I'm sure he was just parroting what he heard, but still...I guess I'd better get used to the fact that during Sunday afternoons in the fall, I'll be on my own. Actually, that sounds pretty good...
