i am heated... over sports.

okay, seriously, matt and i have not fought about anything about this baby,

until today.

south carolina is playing kentucky right now in basketball. for some reason, matt actually thinks this baby is going to cheer for kentucky. why in the world would it be a kentucky fan? here are my points why this is dumb for anyone to think it will be anything but a usc fan, and yes, i just called you dumb if you disagree with me:
1. it will likely be born in either south or north carolina and regardless of that, it will likely live and grow up in south carolina. i doubt it will ever live in kentucky.
2. BOTH of it's parents, it's mother AND IT'S FATHER, will have degrees from south carolina. i don't care how cheesy it might sound but when you graduate from a university, those are your colors. period. you represent that university and that university represents you.
3. NEITHER of it's parents have ever attended uk. nor any of it's grandparents or aunts or uncles. only extended family, and very few of them. in addition to it's parents going to usc, it's aunt did too. 3>0
4. i will be the one to dress the child every day and if anyone thinks i'm going to put a uk something on it over a usc thing on it, you seriously don't know me. i would put on a florida piece of clothing on this baby before i would put on uk (since it's grandfather went to florida)
5. because i said so. and i will be it's mother.

end of rant. don't start with me when it comes to matt being a uk fan. seriously a MAJOR point of contention in our home.

  2. So you don't want it to root for a winning team? I'm confused.

  3. I love it! You win over Matt anyway, and you know why...you are the one who is carrying the child and will bring the child into the world. That means you have veto rights!

  4. kellye. this is funny, and so you. i do just have to say that i know plenty of people who like a sports team just because one of their parents does. and if matt is a uk fan, then it is likely the kid might take an interest in uk... (i think this is a dumb reason to pick a sports team) but i'm just sayin... :)

  5. I totally agree! (luckily, my girl has both parents USC fans, so it makes it easy! She has no choice! haha) We will have to make sure this little baby has plenty of USC outfits to choose from so it won't be a problem in the future!
