As it turns out, Wee Sharks Fan is in my daughter’s class this year… something I realized when, standing with my daughter in line before class started and wearing the same Blackhawks jersey, he said,

“Are you a Blackhawks fan?”

“Of course! Haven’t we been over this before?”

“The Blackhawks are lame.”

“Even though the Sharks have lost more games this season so far than the Blackhawks…?*”

“Oh….”

*Note: As of this morning, the San Jose Sharks are 7-4-1 (8th in the league) and the Chicago Blackhawks are 7-3-1 (7th in the league).

In the mornings I walk Bailey to her line at school and as I was standing there with her this morning, a kid who I’m guessing was in third or fourth grade came up to me and the following conversation began:

Kid: “Are you a Blackhawks fan?”

Me: “Sure am!” Kid proceeds to glare at me in a I’m-just-messing-with-you sort of way

Me: “I take it you’re a Sharks fan…?”

Kid: Still scowling at me “Yes I am! Did YOU go to a game this season?”

Me: “Nope”

Kid: “I did…”

Me: “Who’d they play?”

Kid: “The Sharks played the Blackhawks”

Me: “Oh yeah? And who won that game?”

Kid: Stops scowling and thinks for a second “The Blackhawks!”

Kid smiles at me, then scowls again and runs off

Sorry, kid. I know it sucks to have your team end up losing quicker than the Blackhawks, but that’s the way it goes some seasons!
