Today the family filled out their NCAA Tournament brackets. I'm abstaining this year. I just can't be bothered to care that much and frankly Henry sucks the enjoyment out of stuff like that at this point. He's already bugging me with all his smack talk and chest thumping so I just said no.
Everyone else is participating, however. We are geeked enough that we actually started an online bracket so that Uncle Philip can participate, much to Henry's delight. He loves the idea of another serious sports fan picking the games. His only other real competition is Jay, since William and Tessa tend to go with the color of the teams (William) or the last team mentioned in the pairing (Tessa, explaining her pick of Siena to win it all).
As a matter of fact, Tessa refused to go to bed before sitting down and picking her teams, sending the peanut gallery into gales of laughter. As she picked teams like Siena and Wofford to go deep into the tournament, Henry and William giggled like schoolgirls. I guess they figure at least they are assured not to finish last in our pool. Her only disappointment was that her "rocket" (she seemed to have trouble with the word bracket) couldn't be pink. "Make it a pink one, Daddy", she said, as she settled onto Jay's lap to go through all the tournament pairings. If only that were possible.
