Superbowl Entertainment

Yes, I watched SuperBowl XLIII (that's 43...I've been teaching Roman numerals in math this week). I typically will watch the SuperBowl just because it's the SuperBowl and everybody will be talking about it in the days that follow. It was just us girls at home tonight, plus #1's friend "A". Shortly after the game started, I realized that #1 and her BF had made a little wager on the outcome. If the Steelers won, he had to take her on a shopping trip; if the Cardinals won, she had to take him out to dinner. Now, #1 can almost always be found at a home SCA football game, but can almost never tell you anything except the final score. She's like her mama...she's there to people-watch. Tonight, however, was a different story. She asked question after question - what does that mean? what should they do now? what is his position? how many points is that worth? - in between her texting and Facebook updates. Over the years, I've learned a few things about football, but A knows the game well. She very patiently answered all of #1's questions. In the last half of the game, both girls were alternately cheering and groaning, much to #2's chagrin (9:00 bedtime). When Arizona scored that touchdown in the last quarter, #1 screamed and jumped off the couch. She then went to sit right next to A, clutching her arm. Oh, and she refused to check her phone, knowing the BF was sending an in-your-face text. You wouldn't believe how those two girls cheered when the Steelers pulled it off. Personally, I think that she should make the BF buy her a Steelers jersey when he takes her shopping. You know, add a lil' insult to injury. :)
Oh. I know you're wondering. My favorite commercial was the one with Mr. & Mrs. Potato Head driving in the car. I've already told #2 to take off her angry eyes.
