Football. Oh yes, football...
Jun. 17th, 2004 05:13 pmSigns your family has gone football mad in these European championship days:
- The phone calls. It is dad, who is in Denmark on a conferance. But he hasn't called to check in or say hi, oh no. He wants to know which teams are playing tonight and when the games are on.
- You actually know the answer to the questions above without having to check.
- You have promised your mother that you two would go and see the new Harry Potter movie together, but you both agree it'll have to be on a day with no football matches.
- You time making dinner either in between matches (there are two on each night) or in the halftime break.
- In the middle of the match, you can tell the others watching what would happen in the group if the result stands.
- You're surprised by news showing that something other than football is happening in the world. You then promtly ignore said news, even if it's something wonderfully mockable the Shrub has said.
- You make a note to make Americans call football by its proper name when Norway comes invading.
- You flirt by making football euphemisms.
- You update your LJ with football entries and think this perfectly normal.
