Logic

How logical are you? How often do you apply logic?  Do you even notice when something is not logical.

I like to consider myself as intelligent and able to discern many things….hence a “logical” person. This week however I’m learning that there are things or sayings that we all take for granted that are not logical.

For instance, I am a football lover. (Yes, that’s right, I am a girl who loves football).  My son seems to have inherited this trait somehow (I am convinced there is a gene for this trait.)  Anyway, as we prepared to attend a Super Bowl party at a friend’s house my son says….”I don’t want to go to the Super Bowl party, I want to watch FOOTBALL.”  Completely confused by this statement, I help
him to understand that we were going to watch football.  He replies…”Then why do we have to watch bowling.”  BOWLING???  Who said anything about BOWLING?  There I was confused….why is he talking about bowling?  We were going to a football party.  He looks at me and said, “Mommy, you said we were going to a Super BOWL party. I want to watch football not BOWLING.” AHHHHHH and there was the logic. 

After a 10 minute conversation as to why the Super Bowl was not really about bowling, he says innocently, “Well who would ever think to call it a Super Bowl?  They should be fired…like the coach for the Bucs.”  Oy vey!  Maybe he watches too much football.  LOL.

Oh, by the way….yes, I do know it’s not “LOGICAL” to think that there is a gene for loving football. ;-)
