Look what homeschooling has done to us…

Watching the hockey game tonight, instead of the regular hollering and yelling at the Leafs to get in front of the net, and SHOOT for goodness sake!, this is what you would have heard in our living room…

“How many points do the Leafs have, David?”

“How many points does Ottawa have?”

“How many points have been scored altogether?”

“How many goals does Ottawa have to score to win the game?”

Not to mention the discussion of thirds when discussing periods, and the various reasons there might be intermissions between periods… like giving the players a chance to go to the bathroom… and the need for the television network to show advertising to show the game on TV.

What are we becoming, turning Canada’s sacred national sport into a learning experience, rather than the bloodthirsty team rivalry it ought to be?
