You may remember this post, where I told about how Brian is a Kentucky fan and I am an IU fan. I do not exaggerate when I say that we cannot stand each other when our teams are playing each other. Maybe you think I’m kidding, but I am not.
Doesn’t make it any less true. Earlier this year when IU beat Kentucky, we were at my parents house with the rest of my dad’s family for a Christmas get together. What that means is that Brian was trapped in a house full of MANY IU fans. And I know I’ve told you that my family is relentless when it comes to teasing & joking, so as you can imagine, it was a pretty rough environment for Brian.
In case you missed it, here’s a short video of the shot that gave me one of the best moments of my life.
Anyway, if you follow basketball, then you know that Kentucky beat us in the tourney. It’s a night I’d soon like to forget. Brian & I get so ugly. He hates me, I hate him. We go right back to loving each other the next day, but I can barely stand to look at him during the game and I know he feels the same about me. Sad but true, folks…sad, but true.
Well, my sadness soon turned to gladness when I got this video of Nanner the other day. Her face at the end, when I tell her I’m gonna show her Daddy the video and she realizes that her mother is ruthless, is nothing short of priceless. She may be a little hard to understand, so let me explain. There is a common cheer among Hoosier fans that very simply goes: HOO! HOO! HOO! HOOSIERS!
So, I couldn’t resist, I grabbed the camera & tricked her into doing it for me by telling her how funny it would be. Yeah, I tricked her. Mother of the Year, I know. There’s not really a level I won’t stoop to in order to pull a good joke on someone. Especially my husband. Try not to judge me.
It’s all going to be so worth it when Brian sees this video on my blog. BWAAHAAHAAA!!
Yeah, that was too bad about Mizzou, Donna. I bet that game messed up a lot of brackets!
Oh well, gotta stand for something and it might as well be IU b-ball.
Poor Brian he’s SOOOO outnumbered.
Sorry KM I can’t stand b-ball now football….
I’ve been trying to leave you a comment on your blog all day, but for some reason it doesn’t want to let me. Anyway – just wanted to say I’m so glad you don’t need surgery & I hope your PT goes well!
That’s just mean! Tee Hee…hilarious, though! 🙂 What did Brian say?
Oh Jen, he was all rolling his eyes & “whatever”. Hahahaha! I love it!
time what we did to your uncle on his birthday.
We are divided here too. Been on the east coast too long!
We would’ve loved to see Brian’s reaction.
Can’t wait to hear what you did to him. 🙂 I remember vividly how mean he was to the Spinster when we were young, so I’m sure he deserved it!! hahaha! Just kidding, Brucie! (Well sort of…he was pretty mean) 🙂 Love you guys.
