As we are driving past Seattle’s baseball and football stadiums
Minx: That’s Safeco Field!
Me: Who plays there?
Minx: The baseball.
Me: And who plays at Qwest Field?
Minx: The Sounders! (We recently went to a game.) We had to sing ‘go home Chelsea’! (Chorus of ‘go home Chelsea’ from the back seat). But there were no girls (the Minx is a keen soccer player).
Me: Who else plays at Qwest Field? (Silence) The Seahawks play at Qwest Field. We haven’t been to see them but they play American football.
Minx: Do they have girls?
Me: No, girls don’t usually play American football.
Minx: Is there nowhere in Seattle that I can go to watch GIRLS?
How do I explain that one?
take her to see the storm!
UW Girls Volleyball! They are amazing…
You need to see the Rat City rollergirls! They are amazing.
Seattle Storm!
I mentioned the Storm to her and she was most enthusiastic. Volleyball and roller derby both never occurred to me – they are such American sports. And I find it difficult not to call it roller DAHby.
Tickets will be procured…
Totally go to a Rat City Roller Derby bout. It is great girls rock kinda stuff.
Pussycat Dolls? Girls Aloud? Sugababes? (in their zillionth lineup)….give it a few years…..;-p
