Babs was born just after the Superbowl in 2010, which means that the last two weeks have been the first football playoff games she has experienced. She may already be slightly confused by all of the people hanging at the house, and the constant smell of cheese dip.
Here are the facts:
Babs’ mom is a Chicago Bears fan. Babs has almost fifty first cousins that are Bears fans.
Babs’ dad is a New England Patriots fan. Babs’ grandmother grew up in Massachusetts, so all of her family are big-time Pats fans.
*
The Bears looked fantastic on Sunday, and beat up on the Seattle Seahawks.
The Patriots played poorly and were upset by the Jets.
*
Babs wore a Bears cheerleader’s outfit Sunday morning.
Babs wore a Patriots onesie on Sunday afternoon.
*
The Bears have a strong defense almost every year (Paris Hilton dates them).
The Patriots have one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time (Gisele Bundchen dates him).
*
The Patriots have won three championships since 2011.
The Bears last won a championship after doing the Superbowl Shuffle.
*
Babs’ mom got Babs’ dad tickets to a Bears game the day after Christmas.
My friend goes to the same church as Tom Brady and once held his hand during the “Our Father.”
*
The Patriots crushed the Bears 36-7 in a snowy game in early December.
Babs felt her first snow in late December, and hated it.
*
Should Babs be a Patriots fan or a Bears fan? This won’t make up her mind, but it might be a fun discussion.
