I was working the train this afternoon, wearing one of my favorite hats. It’s a brightly colored Seattle Seahawks skullcap (I actually have two of the same hat. One has the fuzzy ball on top while the one I wore today does not) Some rando dad came on with his son who looked to be about 10 years old. The kid looked at my head and said "You’re a Seahawks fan?!" I responded that yes, in fact I was. He pointed at my hat, laughed and said "You suck!"

He didn’t say the team sucked. He did not imply any of the players sucked. He told me I sucked. Normally I would’ve grabbed him by the throat and thrown him into the kiddie boat pool but honestly it was just too damn funny.

I think that would have violated your no touching policy with the kids.

Back when Jere was a rabid Steelers fan, he managed to put some of that fervor into our child's mind. My poor sister was going on an outing with her one day when they boarded a bus full of Seahawk fans riding home from the stadium after a loss. My sister said my precious small child looked at all the solemn men in their green and blue and said, "Steelers win, Sea Chickens lose!" I'm sure if she wasn't two and a half feet high wearing pink and looking like a kid out of a Dr. Seuss book, they would have pummeled her. My sister said that was one of the most embarrassing, yet funny bus rides she ever took.
