This morning we went to breakfast and then headed to the grocery store. The children had been getting on my last nerve since the moment they got up (actually it goes further back but we will go with that for now). Then, in the back seat Gabriel started, “Here we go Steelers, Here we go. Here we go Steelers, Here we go.” Except that Gabe doesn’t say the first letter of many words and in this case he was actually saying Teelers.
Next, it was Grace’s turn to add to my potential, soon to be arriving insanity, “Here we go Steelers, Here we go. Here we go Steelers, Here we go.” But you see, Gabe didn’t want Grace to join in so he started screaming at her… while continuing with the chant, “Here we go Teelers, Here we go. Here we go Teelers, Here we go” louder and louder. I was about to lose my mind when my husband stepped up. For a quick second, I thought, “Wow. He’s going to correct them. You go Steve.” And, then it happened. I still can’t believe it. In his best “mean dad” voice he said, “Hey Gabe. That’s enough. It’s Steelers with an “S”. Not Teelers. Pronounce it correctly.”
I said, “Really? I mean REALLY? My head is going to explode and you are worried about his enunciation?” He chuckled and replied, “It’s all about teaching moments. You have to take them when you can get them. “
The yahoos in the backseat continued with their chant.

i thought you were going to say that Steven joined in with the chant... LOL
ReplyDeleteI think Gabe has it right..they should be called "TEELERS". They can have their "S" back when they start winning again. As for your husband- I think it was great that he took the time to teach while he was driving. That couldn't have been easy for him. lol Gooooo "TEVEN"!
