DAILY SNACK
A funny thing happened last night.
Canada kicked some Russian Olympic ass for the first time in 50 years,
But that wasn’t it.
The funny thing was that I watched that hockey game,
(At least the first period,)
With my family.
Not with my brothers and my dad like I’ve done a million times,
And not with my husband,
But with my husband and my children.
All four of us and only us.
Colum would really focus on the replays and jump and cheer when Canada scored.
And Irene.
You have never, NEVER seen a 16-month-old girl get so excited about a hockey face off.
She screams and shrieks and jumps up and down and claps her hand and grins when the camera closes in on a face off.
But the really funny thing is that it wasn’t us adults and them kids.
It was just us, our family, being together and getting worked up and excited about the same thing.
And that was really, really nice.
