Super Bowl - Super Night!
While I doubt it ranks being able to watch the Cowboys win a Super Bowl together, I will have to admit watching this one was pretty fun. Luke yells and boos and hisses when things go bad. (Jana will be quick to point out he sounds exactly like his father!) And he jumps around when his team does good.
His team? Well, it was the Patriots until 10:10 in the 4th, when he announced very publicly that his heart had changed to the Giants. Truth is, two things did him in. First, I will not under any circumstances cheer for New England. I kept telling Luke it was OK to cheer for a team Dad was not cheering for, but he had his doubts. The real reason for the switch, I suspect, is that he loves to cheer for the winning team and that was the point he felt like the Giants were going win. He had been hedging his bets all night and it was finally too much.
One of the best lines was him telling Jana, who was cheering for NY because she will always cheer for the underdog, that she ought to "Cheer for the overdog" every now and then.
I could care less who won -- I am just glad I had a chance to watch him watch the SB.

Jana, I _always_ cheer for the underdog, as well. And that went very well last night, I must say.
Not that I care much about football, of course. :)
