I was watching some of the Pro Bowl with my sports fanatic 6 year old son, Elijah. He asks so many questions during sporting events that I often miss the on-air discussions with the "experts." Yeah, I know talking with my kid is way better than listening to Greg Gumbel, but sometimes I really want to hear what they are saying.
After tonight, I will never question the priority of listening to my son. Somewhere around question/comment #1,724 he noticed that a guy on the Redskins was playing where Brian Urlacher would play. I missed the first half of his comment as I was coming out of my game-mode zombie state and switching to loving-dad-mode, but he said something like, "Dad, did you notice that a guy from the Rednecks is playing where Urlacher plays?"
Where in the heck has he heard of rednecks? I think he has listened to too many Mark Driscoll sermons.
Man, I love my kids.
Your kids are awesome man. But how could your son not know about rednecks? You guys are Southern Baptists.

props for making it through the pro bowl, i watched each team's first possession and then changed the channel.
kids are funny, my 2 yr old son was upset on new year's eve that the bears were playing the white packers and not the green packers.
