Okay, so I guess it is payback time, and we are on the wrong end of the payback! The following is the conversation between Brady and Mike this morning. A little background: my sister's daughter has been brain-washed by her uncle and aunt to be a Cyclone fan from a very young age. My other sister gave us two huge garbage bags full of stuff that my nephew can no longer wear/use. Some things were conveniently placed on top of one of the bags.
Brady: Daddy, is this a Hawkeye shirt?
Daddy: Yes.
Brady: Daddy, I want to wear this today.
Daddy: But Brady, we just bought you a new Buckeye jersey.
Brady: Yeah, but I like the Hawkeyes better! (imagine a dagger going through Mike's heart)
Daddy: But Brady, the Hawkeyes are yucky!
Brady: But Papa has a Hawkeye shirt.
Daddy: Yeah, but Papa is silly!
Brady: Yeah, but he has a Hawkeye shirt.
Later in the morning, before getting dressed, my friend Hollie calls and Brady wants to talk to her about his shirt.
Brady: Hollie, I got a Hawkeye shirt.
Hollie: Oh Brady, the Hawkeyes are yucky!
Brady: (silence and gives me back the phone) Mommy, I can't wear this shirt today. (Thanks for the support Hollie!)
So, I thought the issue was dead...apparently not. When Brady got up from his nap, he asked to put the Hawkeye jersey on. I guess now we know how my sister feels.

This is HILARIOUS and something that I could totally see happening in our house too! :)
My wife has that effect on men. I cannot explain it. She is the feminine version of Obi-Wan Kenobi waving her hand around, administering her female Jedi mind control.
Funny! Mark would love that! I'm afraid Eli might do the same to be like his daddy!
