Eye of the Beholder


Last Sunday, we were on our way to the ice skating rink.  Although we arrived several hours before open skating was set to end, we saw people streaming out of the rink, and some kids shouted to us, "They're closing early!"  When I asked why, I got the response, "Super Bowl!"

Margot:  "What did she say?"
Me: "She said they're closing early because of the Super Bowl."
Jane:  "The WHAT?"
Me:  "The Super Bowl."
Jane & Margot (simultaneously):  "What is it?"
Me:  "A football game that decides the national champion."
Margot:  "Ridiculous.  No one cares about that."

The sports IQ at 9 Park Lane holds steady as we head into 2016.
