Miscellaneous Musing by Judy @ 10:27 AM

I know that teenager’s aren’t supposed to always make sense. I know that. But, really! This is a conversation I had with #1 Son yesterday:

#1 Son: What are you doing today, Mom?

Mom: I’m going to watch the Superbowl later this afternoon.

#1 Son: Why? You don’t like football any more than I do.

Mom: I like to watch the ads. And the Seahawks are playing.

#1 Son: So just because a team from the Northwest it playing, you think you have to watch and root for them or something, even though you never care about football?

Mom: Mostly I like to watch the ads. I don’t much care about the game. But since the Seahawks are playing I’ll root for them. It will make it more interesting.

#1 Son: Superbowl ads are terrible! They’re usually the worst advertising all year. Why would you want to watch just for that?

Mom: Why not? I find it amusing. What are you doing today? Do you work?

#1 Son: No work today. I’m going to hang out at Alex’ house. There are a bunch of people coming.

Mom: What will you be doing? Anything special?

#1 Son: We’re going to watch the Superbowl.

How do you even respond to that? 🙄

    • All I ask is this: Do something. Try something. Speaking out, showing up, writing a letter, a check, a strongly worded e-mail. Pick a cause -- there are few unworthy ones. And nudge yourself past the brink of tacit support to action. Once a month, once a year, or just once.
