Go Canada!

There's a big game on Sunday. Olympic-sized game. Canada vs US in Men's Hockey. If you aren't sure who we are rooting for, maybe a clue is that today after Liam's baseball practice Coach Jim had (brain washed?) the whole team shouting 1-2-3 Go Canada! instead of 1-2-3 Go Cardinals! I don't think the kids knew why they were cheering for Canada. And I think the parents laughed.

I will cheer for Canada...because I live with 2 and 1/3 Canadians. Or maybe that's not how the math works...Jim is 1...Liam is .5...Natalie is .5 and Owen is .33. Hmmm...thinking maybe it would be more correct to say I live with 4 Canadians, since you aren't really only a third or half of a citizen. In any case, I know how important hockey is to Canadians, and I respect that. So Go Canada!

But if the US wins, I won't cry about it either.

We did watch the Canada vs Russia game the other night and cheered for Canada, although I sat next to Owen and whispered in his ear Go Russia! I told him he could even probably cheer out loud for Ovechkin without upsetting his Dad too much. Right now, Owen doesn't much care who is playing or who is winning. He just likes to yell Cockey Cockey Cockey GOAL!!!!! and throw both hands straight up in the air. He is Canadian, after all.
