How did this happen?

Through absolutely no influence of our own, Sam apparently became a Red Sox fan. Not only that, he spent a good portion of yesterday begging to watch the World Series even though I'm very sure he has no idea what that is. All of Sam's tv watching is through TiVo so he has no understanding that particular shows come on at specific times so he didn't understand that he could not watch something that had not yet occurred.

We recorded the last portion of the game (hey, if we recorded the whole thing we'd have had to cancel programs we scheduled to record!) for him and figure we can bore him to tears at some point in the near future.

We suspect his passion for the Sox comes from one of his friends at daycare -- this kid wears a Red Sox tee-shirt nearly every day. Sam is now begging for a Red Sox shirt of his very own even though the shirt will not be green!
