Between me and Monkey's Auntie K:
K: Is Monkey particularly loyal to any college football teams?
Me: Monkey is not a big fan of Division I college sports in general, because he believes that the attention paid to the big name college sports detracts from the primary reason why the players are there: to get a college education. Additionally, since the college sports that get the most attention (and therefore, the most money) are men's sports, the system is inherently sexist.
(That said, Monkey is a BIG UConn basketball fan...but mostly the women's team.)
But if you must get him some Ohio State gear, I suppose it's fine. ;-)
K: Wow, the sociological analysis that Monkey can do at such a young age is impressive! :)
Me: Monkey is very advanced. Not only can he do complex sociological analyses, he also knows what a duck says. (It's "quack," in case you didn't realize.)

Update: As of yesterday, Monkey also knows what a cow says. Moo!
I am not sure if I should believe Jen when she claims powers of speech for Monkey. When asked several times for the utterance of a cow (no pun here) Monkey put a straw up his nose. When the D person asked what a duck said Monkey beat on the table with a well-chewed plastic fork.
If my kid failed to answer important questions I'd stop asking. Monkey will get a complex. Or a headache maybe. Why present a kid who doesn't even know what a cow says? Or what a duck says? And why a duck? Haven't the parents heard of Groucho Marx, the great Russian economist?
Hmm. Maybe the kid's not so dumb after all.
