Her: So, we want Michigan to win?

Me: No! We just want them to lose less than we want Texas A&M to lose.

Her: Okay, so we like Michigan more than Texas A&M?

Me: Sigh. Actually, no. We dislike Michigan more than we dislike Texas A&M.

Her: Then why do we want Texas A&M to lose more??

Me: Sigh. Because we dislike the group of colleges that Texas A&M is a part of more than we dislike the group of colleges that Michigan is a part of.

Her: [slow blink]

Me: Sigh. But it's REALLY close.



No WONDER my children think I'm an idiot.
