My oldest son is a little over 3 years old now and since taking him to Orange Madness last year & the spring football game earlier this season, he's taken a liking to SU b'ball & football. He does not sit down and watch the games from start to finish by any means (he still has a 3 year old's attention span - which is none), but he'll cheer occasionally, or ask me, "Daddy, why are you yelling at the players?" Anyway...
His nightly bedtime routine now consists of getting his pajamas on, reading a story and then along with me, naming a few football players and the scholarship b'ball players. Last night, we get done naming all the players, I head downstairs and maybe 2 minutes later I hear..."Daddy, you forgot a player!" I respond with, "I did? Who?" And he says, "Yea, Andrew White!" I nearly cried happy tears. My wife teaches him counting, the alphabet etc, but clearly I give him the knowledge he really needs to succeed in life.
I hope he continues to show interest in the Orange as he gets older. Anyway, I just thought it was a story some might find comical.
