Hayden knows his mom is a huge Dallas Cowboys fan and he's such a good kid that if you ask him "What do we say when we watch football" you get a very emphatic "Goooo Cowboys!" That being said, I thought Hayden would be super excited to watch the game with me Sunday night! Especially since it was the last game of the regular season, the 'Boys were playing the Giants (who I despise) and the winner of the game go to the playoffs!
The problem started after lunch. He'd slept in until 10 so he was NOT wanting to take a nap. Jason even tried taking him downstairs to watch Star Wars Episode 1 The Phantom Menace. For 15 minutes before they go down he repeats over and over "Star Wars The Clone Wars". (We recorded a couple episodes of the cartoon on Cartoon Network and now anything Star Wars is "The Clone Wars").
After the movie the boys came back upstairs (Jason was surprised that both of them stayed awake throughout the entire thing) and found me mixing up some guacamole to have for supper that night while we watched the game. During the end of the Chiefs game, the network displayed a bracket of the teams in the playoffs in the NFC. They were already listing the New York Giants as the division leaders and I started complaining because it wasn't guaranteed that New York would be in (and I was personally hoping they would lose the game in horrible fashion!)! Jason (who always has to be the opposite of me!) replies that because they beat the Cowboys a few weeks ago they were automatically division leaders. To which I retorted "bullshit" (and yes I'm also 15 years old!). Hayden had been dancing around the kitchen eating a small bowl of candy (his reward for going poop in the potty). He happened to be standing right next to me when I let the word slip and of course he repeated it. The first time we couldn't understand it though because his mouth was full of candy but then he kept saying it over and over. Jason starts laughing, unable to stop, while I try and correct the poor kid! He stops finally and I chuckled and said "Hayden I love you!" Hayden looks at me, says "bullshit", grins and walks away.
At 7:30, after a long bath, Captain Sassypants Hayden was too whiny for either of us to deal with. Jason told him that if he laid down in our bed he'd let Hayden watch Dora. Five minutes he was out cold and slept all night long.
And the game? Let's just say it was a huge disappointment. So for next week I will be a Falcons fan!
