While I will say that I am very happy for Patriot fans – since I almost became one myself during the years I lived in RI – it still wasn’t incentive enough for me to pay attention to the game.
Instead the girls and I went to the pool.
Here’s a list I created today:
Top Ten Reasons to Spend Super Bowl Sunday at the Pool
- You prefer the smell and taste of chlorine to that of sodium and soda.
- See men (and women) exerting themselves – carrying small children close to their chests, tossing, chasing and catching them.
- Experience what a locker room is like for yourself.
- You can see plenty of creativity – from swimsuits to tattoos to water games- and unlike the commercials, it didn’t cost millions to make.
- Be a cheerleader to your children – aquatic applause produces its own fun pompoms.
- No need to get up and stretch your legs during breaks.
- Instead of watching football players, you’d rather train like one, carrying two children while rushing through yards of water.
- It’s not whether you win or lose but how you spray and splash.
- You want to entertain your children and other people rather than having other people entertain your children (wrote this one before I read about today’s R rating!)
- Because the NFL Commissioner said “there are better things to do than playing football”.
