Football!
by carolynholm
Hey Mom
I’m a football guy now!
Winston
Dear Winston,
Because you found Poppy’s toy football?
Love, Carolyn
Hey Mom,
Because I’ve been watching football with Dad!!!!
Winston
Dear Winston,
You have indeed.
Love, Carolyn
Hey Mom,
I like hanging out with Dad. We sit together and face the same way, towards the TV.
Winston
Dear Winston,
It’s interesting that you watch TV. You seem to like the movement on the screen.
Love, Carolyn
Hey Mom,
I love when everyone runs!!!! I looked behind the TV to see if they went around back there, but I couldn’t find them. Why are they running? Did one of them whack another one and then run like crazy? That’s what I do when I whack Puffin.
Winston
Dear Winston,
It’s something like that.
Love, Carolyn
Hey Mom,
They all pile on each other! It’s so exciting! I reached out to see if I could touch them but I could only feel the screen. TV is very strange. It’s also very noisy. That much noise would be alarming if it weren’t inside the TV.
Winston
Dear Winston,
That’s the crowd noise. The sound of lots of people in the stands, watching the game. But like you say, they can’t get out of the TV box.
Love, Carolyn
Hey Mom,
Why are they making noise?
Winston
Dear Winston,
They are screaming because they are excited watching the game.
Love, Carolyn
Hey Mom,
Dad doesn’t scream while he watches. And when I’m excited I don’t scream.
Winston
Dear Winston,
No, and we’re glad for that.
Love, Carolyn
Hey Mom,
But sometimes Dad yells. He raises both arms and yells “TOUCHDOWN!!!!!”
Winston
Dear Winston,
Because that’s what everyone is waiting for.
Love, Carolyn
