A story about my kids at a game

My ex wanted to take our 4 kids to a Dodger game {why she would want to do that was beyond me}. This was about 9 years ago and I have 3 girls and my boy, their ages at the time were 7,6, 3 and my son was 2. Well she knew I hate the Dodgers and when she told me she had taken the kids to a Dodger game I let her have it. Man was I mad. She knows the Angels are like a religion to me. I asked her "how would you like it if I took the kids to a Mormon church" { no offense to Mormons}. She said she wouldn't like that. I told her that's how I feel about taking the kids to Dodger stadium to see a Dodger game, unless it was to see the Angels play them. Well I didn't take the kids to another type of church other than her beliefs. But I did get her back another way. She had this phobia about cutting my oldest 2 daughters hair, they had never had a hair cut and she didn't want to have it cut. Stems back to when she was in school and she had funky hair and was self conscious abut her hair and didn't want the kids to feel that way too. Well I took them to a salon and had them cut off about 6 inches of hair off of both my daughters. Man was she pissed, it felt good to let her know I meant business about taking them to Dodger games. None of my kids have been back to Dodger stadium since. They all hate the Dodgers and are die hard Angels fans for life. Don't know where they got that from??

nothing like putting the kids in the middle
hope you have a good therapist for them.
The real trouble with reality is that there's no background music.

My dad tried to make me be a Dodgers fan.
I ended up shaving the dog's butt in retaliation.

Love baseball,
Love the sport, don't always love the mentality that comes with it.  

A large majority of my friends hate sports because they can't separate the two.  I try to let it roll off, just acknowledging that it's an unfortunate aspect.

You mean you don't understand the logic of
burning cars looting stores when teams win championships?  How stuffy are you?
