Finally picked the right one!
While there are many little boys in Kansas loving life, there is also one here who was thrilled to get to watch the last few minutes and overtime. His selection process was very simple. Root against Memphis since they beat Texas. This choice was confirmed by selection process number two, which is root for whoever is winning at halftime. I was not here for the start of the game, but apparently he wavered a bit when all of the commentators picked Memphis. He stuck it out, though. He went to bed at half-time, but I managed to wake him up about 4:00 minutes left in the game (but just barely) and he sort of napped until Kansas hit the shot to tie it. He was wide awake then!
I always thought watching big sporting events with my parents was fun. Sorry guys, as good as it is, it doesn't compare to watching with your seven-year-old.
Until next year - go Jayhawks.

Okay, as I understand it, you woke him up just in time to see Kansas go down by nine? Talk about luck!
Let's put it this way - I was ready to play up his hedge bets!
1)Ditto to Dad's comment.
2)The fun of watching with your kids is why you got to watch with your parents.
3)And how much did your wife love you when she was trying to get him up and ready for school this morning, or did she pass that on to you?
I take him to school and we have degrees of late:
1. We are at school before chapel started. Imagine that. (As in, we just have to imagine it because unless Mom is taking to school, it doesn't happen.)
2. Chapel has started, but they are still singing songs and other kids are rushing in, so it really isn't that bad. We consider this normal time.
3. The chapel speaker/program has begun and Luke usually makes some comment like: Dad, we are really late today, aren't we.
Today was a 4, as in, "If you hurry, you can get in line with your class before they get into the classroom."
