Go Wings

I happened to catch the 3rd period of the Wings game Tuesday. It being the Wings and the Stanley Cup, I was sure my Mom was watching. As it got to the end of the 3rd, I texted Mom.

Me: Some game, eh?
Mom: Yeah. Jerry and I are watching the 2nd period.
Me: Oh. Wanna know how it ends?
(long pause)
Mom: No

I laughed so hard I almost fell off my chair.
