More Football Stuff

Let me start by reminding everyone of the football pools. The season starts a week from tonight so don't delay too long. It's fun and free. (This is the last time I'll mention it.)
Ok, cute anecdote from today? Had NFL Network on today and they were showing last week's Viking game. Relia noticed and was excited to see the Vikings on. She asked me, "What do Vikings eat?".
"Uh, the players? Or actual vikings?"
"The players."
"Well, they eat the same stuff that we do. Hamburgers, pizza steak. Some of them probably eat salad."
"Do they eat cheese?"
Me grinning broadly, "You bet they do!".

To be honest I'm not sure what I would have answered if she said 'actual vikings'. Lots of fish? Lefse? Krumkake? (My spell-check doesn't like either of those words, by the way.)

I've looked around a bit for a child sized Viking Helga hat for Relia and have had no luck. It's hard for me to believe that no one is selling such a thing. Seems like a natural thing to me. She sounds excited to watch some football with her old man. I hope that enthusiasm lasts.

No no no, they eat little girls. Don't you know how to terrify your child?

But I don't *want* her to be terrified of Vikings. (Funny enough, that's almost the exact same thing the FP Gal said.)
