Sam needs some reprogramming before we go to WI

There is one thing that is sacred in Green Bay, specifically the Green Bay Packers. In order for Sam to be safe there, we may need to do some reprogramming. See, although he looks the part and he's got a Green Bay Packer baseball hat that he's been wearing most of the summer and we've had this conversation repeatedly:

Sam: Green Bay SOCCER ball hat! (laughing and laughing and laughing)

Me: Green Bay FOOTBALL hat!
Sam: Green Bay SOCCER ball hat!
Me: Green Bay FOOTBALL hat!
Sam: Green Bay SOCCER ball hat!
Me: Green Bay FOOTBALL hat!
Sam: Green Bay SOCCER ball hat!
Me: Green Bay FOOTBALL hat!
Sam: Green Bay SOCCER ball hat!
Me: Green Bay FOOTBALL hat!

He'll keep going infinitely and he absolute loves the "debate." But if he does it in WI? I'm not sure he'll be forgiven...

And why yes, that is bacon he's eating there. It's consistent with the WI food groups and I want to make sure he looks like a WI boy, especially if he's not going to talk like a WI boy.

Mmmmmm, bacon!

Bacon is a fundamental food group everywhere around the globe! It's an all-inclusive peacemaker! All hail bacon!

Well, maybe not in California...

Anne--you are almost all the way home.

Now, all you have to do is say, "Sam, nice Green Bay SOCCER hat." Chances are, he will respond, "Green Bay FOOTBALL hat." One of the older ploys in the book (along with "Yes means no and no means yes. Do you want me to hit you?")

Kimberly, I tried that it didn't work! What's wrong with my kid?

But bacon still remains one of the few perfect foods as long as it's crispy. If it's limp? Forget it.
