Today, for most people, is Super Bowl Sunday. But I’m not exactly a football fan, so I barely even notice as people all across the country get ready to watch a bunch of men tackle each other in big sweaty piles. For me, today is something a little more average.
Today my brother had a basketball game. Today I have to go grocery shopping. Today I have to do the homework I put off all day yesterday. Today it is pouring rain but I guess it’s not cold enough to get us out of school tomorrow. Sigh.
Today is also my Grandpa’s birthday. Today, I am celebrating a smart, kind, funny, generous, wonderful grandfather. I am not celebrating a bunch of millionaires who run around on a field playing an over-glorified game of fetch.
Not that there’s anything wrong with liking football. I don’t judge people for what sport they watch. (I judge them for other things.) I just wanted to point out that for a lot of people, today isn’t just about football.
Just saying.
(Happy birthday Grandpa.)
