What’s up with that?

My son… The Habs fan?!? NOOOOOoooooo. Say it ain’t so!!!

The Happy Boy was drinking his pre-bed cup of warm milk when I turned on the TV to see the score in the Leafs game. He saw the game and said, “I don’t like that! I don’t like hockey”. Hmmph, I thought to myself. He’ll like it one day. Then an update came on the TV and it was of the Canadiens scoring a goal, to which the Happy Boy pointed, smiled, clapped and rejoiced. I was beside myself. I said, “buddy, that is Montreal?!?”, to which he replied, “I like Montreal. My friends Mom is from Montreal. My friend goes to Montreal sometimes…” Damn.

Aww, I know why he likes the yucky Canadiens… Their uniforms are red and his favourite colours are red, pink and brown. I’ll have to show him the Black Hawks and the Hurricanes. He can be a fan of either of those, but NOT the Habs. I’d never live it down.
