Alice LOVES going to Wisconsin Badger hockey games. She likes the ritual of getting macaroni-and-cheese pizza beforehand, showing her ticket to the security guard as we find our seats, watching cartoons on the JumboTron, and jumping on the Bounce House they have at the arena between periods. But as she tells us over and over again, her favorite parts are definitely "Bucky Badger, the band, and ouchies!"
'Ouchies' are what she calls it whenever a hockey player gets checked into the boards or a fight breaks out. Daddy also enjoys all the 'ouchies.' Mommy, however, doesn't think that cheering for 'ouchies' is a good thing, and has to explain to Alice that it's not very nice to crash into someone else, and that we should ask to make sure the hockey players are ok.
Alice,
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you love hockey--but I am especially happy that you love 'goons'. Did you know that your second cousin, Scott, prided himself in his role as a goon? And you know what-- I loved his role too. Do they pound the boards with sticks and chant "WE CAN WE CAN ROCK YOU"? That was another personal favorite. Good memories--thanks for the reminder. Rhonda
