Emma's First Steelers Game with Mommy

Sunday Night Football featuring the Jacksonville Jaguars hosting the Pittsburgh Steelers is finally here and Mommy is so excited to share it with Emma. Unfortunately, Daddy has been less than enthused to share a Bengals game with her (its more like protecting her from it). As they were preparing for the game, Daddy made a snide comment cruelly wishing Emma would somehow soil and defile the vile Steelers' colors. Mommy was not amused. Daddy also commented, much to his delight, that Emma is not particularly attractive in the black and gold. Mommy conceded and admitted the outfit made her look like an "ugly boy." Ouch... Hopefully her cheerleading outfit will be more complimentary.

Anyway, as game time approached, Mommy and Emma prepared by festively donning some gay apparel (yes, double entendre intended) and settling in a comfy chair with a Terrible Towel.

Mommy tells Emma about the greatness of the Stillers, their storied history, five Super Bowl victories, and a quarterback who has two nasty habits: Holding on to the ball too long and diving head-first into Buick windshields. She also reviewed the lessons Daddy has been giving her over the basic rules and strategies of football.

Soon after the game begins, Ben Roethlisberger is picked off by Rashean Mathis. After all the hype and high expectations set by Mommy, this is her devastated reaction. Either that or she realized Casey Hampton really is THAT fat.

Soon after, Emma was sick to her stomach. She had seen enough. This highlights Emma's impatience as it was only minutes later that the Steelers regained the ball - and the lead. Emma, you really shouldn't take out your frustrations on Troy - even though he sounds like Michael Jackson and he looks like he's homeless.

Apparently, the damage was already done and she was so upset she promptly proceeded to produce the ENTIRE contents of her stomach for her and Mommy to wear (and thankfully by this point, Mommy had already taken off the jersey). Unfortunately, Daddy's wish came true and the Steelers' black and gold was defiled by half-digested breast milk. Yuk. Daddy was torn between helping and getting the camera to document the sheer quantity of spit-up saturating her Steelers shirt - which was very impressive.  Ultimately his desire to make it all better for his daughter beat out the mild satisfaction of seeing his prophecy fulfilled and grabbed a couple burp cloths.

That basically ended the party. Out came the jammies and it was time for Emma to rest and concentrate on making her tummy feel better. Oh, this was certainly a memorable experience. Just wait until the Steelers play the Bengals. Or maybe Daddy will continue to be merciful and shield her from the Bungles. Her poor little stomach couldn't handle that...
