Jr. : Homecoming game.. I know. Do you know why it is called a homecoming game?
Me: No.
Jr. : (starts explaining something about games, winning, losing, parties, etc. etc.) and sees my eyes glaze over in the rear view mirror and asks "do you know what a homecoming is?"
Me : No.
Jr. : didn't you have any school rivalries when you went to school?
Me: No.
Jr. : Didn't you have homecoming games?
Me: No.
Jr. : thinks for a second and goes "okay. let's start with the basics. Did you go to high school?! "
Next time I have to start steering the conversation in a different direction.
