Is it in the DNA?????

KC_72 Posts: 3,249 Joined: 2006/05/19	2007/01/03, 09:19 AM I've always considered myself lucky that my husband is not a football watcher.I'm not big on the sport...I don't understand it at all...so am happy with a husband who doesn't have to watch it. SOOO...how do I end up with a son that is obssessed with it.He's nine years old and loves football...he knows all the teams and the plays...gets all excited when something happens...the boy even plays tackle basketball(yes,the bruises and lumps are many). Right now I walked into the living room...where any other kid would be watching cartoons...he's watching football highlights. Is it just ingrained in some boys DNA or what???? -------------- \\"If you had one shot...or one opportunity to seize all you ever wanted...in one moment...would you capture it...or just let it slip\\" eminem

	2007/01/03, 11:28 AM Football is great, but I do enjoy watching womens tennis - nothing wrong with that.

And yet for Christmas, they got a little rubber football, and a fuzzy onesie that says "Daddy's Team" and has footballs on it for Paul. There was even talk of having him learn how to throw the ball in time for Superbowl Sunday. :laugh:

I will never forget our first porn internet experience as a family - my son was in third grade and he wrote down what the teacher put on the board for looking up information on the White House ---well, we put the address in he had and it quickly was obvious that he didn't have the correct website! The next time it happened, he wanted to look up something on Cocoa Puff's cereal website --we were quickly introduced to a naked cocoa puff.....mom had to find a filter needless to say! ============ Quoting from KC_72: Seems victorias secret is also big on the boys brain...I busted him and his buddy in here looking for naked ladies the other day...told them both that I KNEW EVERYTHING..so they'd better spill the beans about what they were up to...and they did...they said some kids at school told them they could see boobies on the internet and what to type in to find them....but MY boy couldn't figure out how to spell naked..so ...thankfully...he didn't get to far.I swear this kid will put me in an early grave.

sstump1 Posts: 1,227 Joined: 2005/03/20	2007/01/04, 12:29 PM LOL...yea you gotta be carefull there...www.whitehouse.gov is the correct address...not .com. I believe there's several buildings and monuments with similar type websites as well that you need to be carefull about.
CristalBelle Posts: 1,389 Joined: 2003/06/27	2007/01/04, 12:33 PM Almost anything you type into a search engine eventually winds up with porn of some type. It's actually a sad reminder of the times we live in. How did we get from football to porn again?
KC_72 Posts: 3,249 Joined: 2006/05/19	2007/01/04, 12:46 PM Thats what I told the kids...they can see a WHOLE lot more on these sites than my brother could see in my dads playboys. -------------- \\"If you had one shot...or one opportunity to seize all you ever wanted...in one moment...would you capture it...or just let it slip\\" eminem
sstump1 Posts: 1,227 Joined: 2005/03/20	2007/01/04, 01:21 PM "How did we get from football to porn again?" We can most certainly blame KC for that.

OK...we'll go back to football.the kids were getting ready for school yesterday..in the bathroom brushing their teeth...when a screaming match broke out...so I went in to referee and my son says to me "Do I have to give miranda 50,000 dollars"?I asked him what in the world he's talking about...he says when he grows up and is making millions playing with the NFL she said he would have to pay HER 50,000 a yaer because she was his sister...I told them they better get there back packs and beat feet before I grounded them...just for fun!!I beleive that is the STUPIDEST reason they have fought to date...and there are some whoppoers in there!!!! -------------- \\"If you had one shot...or one opportunity to seize all you ever wanted...in one moment...would you capture it...or just let it slip\\" eminem
sstump1 Posts: 1,227 Joined: 2005/03/20	2007/01/05, 10:50 AM Here's a doozy...but first keep this in your head...I'm 5'4" and 150 lbs...180 at my heaviest. Never was overly athletic and neither were very many people in my family. My parents were both within a few inches of height of me as well as my brother. So with that in mind heres the story. My oldest...which is the shortest kid in his class (go figure) wants to be a Running Back in the NFL when he grows up, now there have been some short and stout RB's out there in the past, so I'm not completely discouraging him. However we were discussing with him that what if that doesn't work out for him...what is his backup plan? Trying to get him to think of a carreer and use his intellect (which he gets from me I might add...lol), but instead he says "I could play Basketball". My wife and I couldn't hold our composure and had to step away from the table to go snicker around the corner. :laugh: Then came back and reassured him that he could do anything he wants to do. We're awful I know...
