"V" is for Victory, Papa

Today the girls and I went shopping and I told Grace to pick out an Ohio State sweatshirt. Well, she didn't like the sweatshirts, so picked out a t-shirt, but when we were standing in line to pay, she said, "You know, I would kind of like a jersey. Is it O.K. for girls to wear a jersey?" We decided why not!!! She is really pumped about going to the game in two weeks with Papa. She very seriously said to me before bed, though, "Mom, are you sure Papa will let me sit with him at the game with this jersey on?" I told her, "Grace just because Papa's blood runs green doesn't mean yours has to. You were born in Ohio, and if your goal is to go to "The" Ohio State University, I think that it is a great goal and your Papa will be very proud of you!" Yesterday when Grace was at dance, I asked Olivia where she was going to go to college. She thought for a moment and said, "Probably Ohio State. Where did you go mom?" I tried to explain to her that she can go where ever she wanted if she continued to work hard in school and mentioned that Great Grandpa Simmons went to Ohio State. She said, "Wow! That must have been a long time ago!" Anyway, we are all looking forward to coming to East Lansing in a couple of weeks! Go Buckeyes!!!!!
