Caleb's head had a slight flat spot on the back right corner. The flattening was fairly mild, but it bugged me. Enough to spend Caleb's next twenty years of allowance on an orthotic device, apparently.
They let you pick out a design. I wanted something you would put on a legitimate sports helmet, but something uncontroversial-- no logos of actual teams with loyal fans and bitter enemies. So I picked the Mighty Ducks decal.
Wow. I need to learn more about sports*. Here's the email I sent to Aaron, panicked when Wikipedia told me it was not just the team from the Disney movie, but an actual team based in Anaheim.
We ended up just going with it. And with a couple of well-placed stickers (thanks for the idea, Lisa!), I actually think it turned out pretty well.
*Ironically, during my senior year of college I decided to beef up my paltry sports knowledge by memorizing the team names and cities of all hockey teams in the NHL.
I have all NHL teams and cities memorized! But mine came out of necessity when I married a canadian... it was when i started dating said canuck that i saw the Mighty Ducks for the first time. Its not a bad show :) QUACK QUACK QUACK!! ;)
ReplyDeleteI should have consulted with you first! I remember wanting to be the girl in the movie. She had hand-eye coordination and good large motor skills, though...
DeleteAnd this is why I love you. Because you memorize all the NHL teams. Just because.
