Games People Play

We decided to write this one together, because for once we actually agree on something. We just got done watching "the game" with Dad. We noticed a few things we'd like to share with him, and with all of you other silly adults who watch that thing called "football".

1. They can't hear you. No matter how loud you yell, how much you encourage them, or how stupid you say they are, those people in the TV can't hear you. We know this because Mom told us so when we were yelling at Swiper the other day.

2. No, the guy with the ball couldn't "see him coming". Obviously, guys, if he could have he wouldn't have run that way. No one wants to get pushed around and knocked over. I mean, jeez, it's just common sense! Just ask Burt what it's like when Em lays on him and won't get off...

3. No, the Ref isn't blind. We don't think they'd let him wear that shirt and have that cool whistle if he couldn't even see because then he wouldn't know when to wave at everyone and throw his hanky around. We're pretty sure he has to be able to see SOMETHING! And Dad, you miss the ball most of the time when we throw it, so who says you can see any better?

4. We think it's just plain silly that a bunch of guys run around and jump on each other for a dumb little ball that isn't even the right shape to roll and kick. We don't understand why you all want to sit and watch them be silly. Why not just watch us? We're waaaay funnier! :-)
