Quote: World Cup

[wowie]

Mortensen is laughing now, surprised and amused with his own behaviour. "The only word I said the entire time was the word "no". The World Cup was going on - I think it was Brazil, and whoever won I didn't want them to win - and I fell asleep watching the game and I wanted to know the end of it and I went to the guy next door. I was half asleep when he told me the score and it just came out: He utters, under his breath, a tiny "no".

I'm not a soccer, football, whatever fan, but for Viggo, I'd adapt. Wouldn't give up the Red Sox, but I'd adapt!

My mom had a friend who married an Englander. Once, they came over to my house and had all of these "football" stickers for me. I was very confused, but they explained to me that in the rest of the world, soccer is called football (which make much more sense than American football, because in American ball, only one plyer ever touches the ball with his foot... I digress)

Anyhow, I became even more confused as to why Speedy Gonzales was saying "Arsenal Forever". Why was he promoting guns! I eventually figured it all out.

My Abby loves soccer. She wants to play next year. Sure, between school, ballet and T Ball. I'm beginning to sound like a "Dunkin Donuts" commercial..."KARATE... YA!"

I tell you that story's always made me really cross with Viggo; he won't speak to his beloved son but is move to comment on something regarding football. What a jerk LOL!!

Talk about a 'method' to his madness... this is something Henry will never forget I'm sure. My kids remind me of the stupidest things sometimes!
