The Super Bowl

I've always loved a good sporting event. And especially this year in Baltimore, as I've felt a little sport deprived, I've enjoyed the sporting events that I do get to see. This Super Bowl was great. It would have been better if the Ravens had been in it, but at least the Steelers were there for (almost) everyone to cheer against. The game was close and the good guys ended up with the win. What could be better than that?

Well, funny you should ask. There was something better tonight. (No, I'm not talking about the commercials, though they were pretty decent and better than past years I think.) Smiles and laughter from little kids will always be better than any sporting event. I watched the Super Bowl at my host family's house and got to play with their kids as I watched the game. Seeing them smile and hearing them laugh was way better than the game could have ever been.

I love sports, but I think I love kids more. That's just the way it is.
