Guy Talk

Granddaddy Roe was tired when he and Grandma arrived at our house for their Thanksgiving visit. They had just completed a two-day drive from their home in Florida, and the trip was exhausting. Daddy and Granddaddy went upstairs just as the boys were rising from their nap. We turned on the TV to ESPN and sat down to watch the sports news. Wanting to be just like us, the boys climbed onto the couch with Granddaddy, arranged their pillows and covers for maximum comfort and began talking sports. When a football story ran they said “football, football”. When a basketball story ran they exclaimed “basketball, basketball”. There was also some running commentary that Granddaddy couldn’t quit decipher, but he was impressed by their earnestness.
