In-State Rivalry

During the 2-hour visit with my kids yesterday, my two oldest began playfully arguing about what college shirt one would wear when visiting the rival Texas university --- specifically Texas A&M and the University of Texas.
My daughter Candra, the oldest, said that the Texas A&M Aggies have the best football program and that she was proud that the Longhorns lost to the Aggies this year. She said she would wear the aggie colors any day of the week, but would probably not wear them if she were on the Longhorn campus.
My son Camden proudly said he would parade around the A&M campus wearing a Longhorn shirt. I tried to keep the smile on my face away from the conversation by playing with the youngest, Cheney.

As the argument heated, Cam/Can both looked at me for help.
“Don’t look at me, I’m a Gator and my team is going to the national championship this year”, I said with a teasing tone.
They both rushed me down to the floor which escalated to tickling and laughing.
