John's Gambling Problem Causes Embarrassment to Our Children :)

Today the children were forced to pay the price for their father's gambling problem. When the Rockies won the National League Championship, John made a bet with the Prud'hommes that the Rockies would beat the Red Sox in the World Series. Of course, as we all know, that didn't happen, so Austin and Jacob had to "pay the price" by wearing Red Sox shirts.



During the day, I heard "Why are you wearing those shirts?" and "Surely you aren't Red Sox fans." The most encouraging people were at the pediatrician's office where the kids got their flu shots. The nurse said, "Red Sox fans in Colorado? Traitors!" Austin did tell me that when Ms. Gail, one of his teachers, asked him about his shirt, he said "Red Sox are stinky." Nevermind that he isn't 100% sure whether the Red Sox are a baseball team or a color of footwear.
