WAAA - I didn't see the goal

This is what I heard when I came down from leaving the 2 boys alone for 5 minutes.

Last night was the 7th and final game of the 2009 Stanley Cup Finals. GJA came home early and turned on the tv in the bonus room to watch the game...because PJ wants to watch his DVDs during dinner....fine. I'm getting dinner ready, fighting with PJ and just about when everything is ready, GJA magically arrives. I ask him who's winning...he said, no score. Then finally said...it hasn't started yet.

WHAT? I give him grief...why aren't you down here keeping PJ out of my hair - the game isn't even on yet. So, PJ starts having hissy fits because he doesn't want to eat, GJA is gettting grumpy because he thinks the game has started...so I get PJ calm and GJA takes his dinner up to watch the game.

We are season ticket holders to the Oilers and I have watched several years of playoff hockey on tv - regardless of who is in the finals (well, except if its Calgary). I would have loved to watch the game too...but that's just how it goes.

GJA came downstairs, so I presumed the intermission came. I left him in charge of PJ and the DVD machine and I go upstairs to make a phone call - because an intermission is 20 minutes long. While I'm doing that, I hear that the game has started and there's lots of whining and crying on the main floor. I come downstairs to see two angry faces looking at me....sorry for leaving for 5 mintues.

One is angry because he doesn't want to see hockey and wants to see his dvd's and the other one is angry because..."WAAA - I didn't see the goal" even though he had the game on (PJ kept turning on the DVD and messing up the hockey).

BOO HOO - I haven't see ANY of the game....maybe if you had come down as soon as the intermission started ... this wouldn't have happened.

SO...off he goes to watch the game. He did manage to pull himself away during the 2nd intermission (mind you, not until Don Cherry was done yapping - which I also would have liked to see) so we could put PJ to bed. By the time I got done with him, and the dishes in the disherwasher...I got to see 6.36 minutes of the game.

I got to see one goal....Detroit's...but they didn't win...which was a good thing in the end.

MALES
