On the way to Target yesterday, Grace kept asking for her Boppa (translation is either pacifier or Grandpa, in this case it meant pacifier). We are trying to limit the use of "boppa" to only nap time, bed time, and long car rides. Since Target is 10 minutes from our house, we decided that did not warrant the need of a pacifier.
While Grace repeated over and over "boppa" in a very sad voice, Pat said "Grace, if you do not stop saying the word boppa, the....the...the Green Bay Packers' Fans will come and take it and you will not have it anymore." Grace responded with a "Ohhhh."
I couldn't help staring at Pat and asked him why he choose the Green Bay Packers' fans to be the "mean" person in his threat. I mean, really, he has many options, the "Boppa" monster, he could have used me, I am very mean and scary, or himself.
He then explained to me that he really believes Green Bay Packers' fans are vicious and mean so he thought they were a good one to use. I could not help laughing, only Patrick would use another football team's fans to scare our daughter.
