Rivalry
My relationship with my boyfriend’s dad is amusing. The following episodes may describe it.
- Last summer, my alma mater (NC State) won the NCAA Bass Fishing championship. (There’s a collegiate bass fishing competition - who knew?) Ken somehow discovered this and thought it was hysterical. He sent me a congratulatory card and a Barbie fishing pole.
- Ken’s alma mater (Ohio State) finished second in the championship games for both football AND basketball in the 06-07 season. I sent him a baseball hat that said NCSU Bass Fishing which had a picture of a big fat bass on it, along with a card saying “so you can wear something from a team that actually something this year.”
- I received a baseball hat that says Golden Pants Champions 2006. Players that beat Michigan get a pin of golden pants, or something.
- When the parents stayed overnight at our house recently, i left an April issue of Sports Illustrated on the dresser. The cover title is “Gator Raid” and talks about the previously mentioned devastating losses of both championship games to Florida.
- For my birthday i received a sweatshirt that says “The Fish Whisperer”. It’s awesome.
- For Ken’s birthday he received an NC State t-shirt.
There have been a few other subtle things as well. It’s pretty funny. (-:
