I am so not kidding.
Despite my family's fierce loyalty to Duke University, the Blue Devils don't make it to the NCAA championship game in any of my children's brackets. The crowd favorite to win it all in this year's big dance is none other than the Butler University Bulldogs.
"That college has the word 'butt' in it," squealed Cortlen as he choked on his dinner.The mere allusion to a rump of any sort sent the other two into a fit of hysterics.
"You guys are hilarious," my husband said flatly.
"You're one step away from being excused from this betting pool," I added.
We should have saved our breath; none of the Bulldog fans heard us. They were too busy scrawling "I love Buttler" on scrap paper in the playroom.
My husband and I were disheartened over the fact that our children jumped ship so quickly, and over something as silly as an abstract allusion to a universal body part.
Sadly (for my offspring at least), Butler lost in the first round to LSU by four points. Now that my kids have fallen this far, it wouldn't surprise me if they dropped out of school, starting doing drugs, and began cheering for UNC.
The cliff is that steep.***
Happy first day of Spring! It's practically sunbathing weather at my house. Wish you were here!
