Boy, did I crack up reading this. He’s watching the game so a kid shouting certainly wouldn’t interfere with the viewing. Neither Jack nor Arnie could hear the kid noise through the tv. So, I guess you guys had to whisper because the announcer whispered. Ah, the idiosyncrasies of the sports fan.

I remember a friend telling me that she told her husband that her water had broken. He told her to wait until after the 9ers won the game (it. was. the. first. quarter.). Being the lovely soul she is, she took the remote, turned off the tv, held her husband’s head between her hands and repeated through clenched teeth, “Dear, my. water. broke.” Amazingly, they’re still married.
