Ok, today I have to talk about which team is better….the Cubs or Dodgers? Personally I really don’t care. But my husband is a Cubby fan and Luke’s aide is a Dodger fan. You can imagine that this has created a little “tension”. All in good fun of course.
Since my husband is a Cubs fan, Luke of course has a couple Cubby shirts. After sending Luke to school one day wearing a Cubs shirt, I was “informed” that the Dodgers were better. I think that was a “warning” of things to come. After that every time Luke has worn his Cubs shirts something has happened.
The first thing happened on one of those days where it was really cool in the early morning but it soon warmed up. I actually dressed Luke in a long sleeve shirt under a short sleeve shirt, both of which were Cubs shirts. When Luke got home, I took off his jacket and not only was the long sleeve shirt off….but his short sleeve shirt was inside out! On the note I receive daily on how Luke’s day went, I was told that the shirt was inside out because it was the wrong shirt…since the shirt should say “Go Dodgers”.
The second thing happened while on Luke’s field trip, this time wearing a “forbidden shirt” isn’t what prompted the daily “battle”. While Luke and I were “painting the wall” at the Children’s Museum, Luke’s aide was talking to someone else she knew about the Bears and how horrible they were. So Luke and I got some blue paint, reached up and put “Go Cubs” on the wall. Later when I was taking a picture of Luke and his aide painting, his aide reached up and put “Dodgers” above “Cubs”. Look closely and read backwards and you can see our messages on the clear wall below.
The third thing happened when I sent Luke to school in only his Cubs T-shirt (and jeans of course). It took me a while to realize what happened when he got home. But where it says “Cubs” on the T-shirt, there was a blue piece of tape that now said “Dodgers” instead. I couldn’t help but laugh. I also decided to keep it on until my husband got home, to see if he noticed. Sure enough, it only took my husband a few minutes to say “what is that!” and go over to take the tape off Luke’s shirt. My husband then said, “this is war, we need to send Luke to school in the cubs shirt but also put a piece of tape on it that says ‘Down with Dodgers fans’”. We haven’t done that yet….I’m not sure we should take this “war” to the next level yet.
It’s been a fun “rivalry”. Maybe one day Luke can express his own opinion, instead of wearing what his daddy wants…then maybe he won’t be so “offensive” to his Aide’s in the future.
