March Madness Part 2

After collecting Casey's NCAA picks, it was Darby's turn.

First I asked if he wanted to pick Wisconsin because we live there, and he thought I was teasing him. "We don't live in Wisconsin!" Uh, yes we do, Darby. "No! We live in Cross Plains!" So I spent a little time this morning teaching him about cities and states. Apparently we tease him too much – he assumes we're kidding about everything. It took a little persistence to convince him we really did live in a place called Wisconsin (Casey backed me up, which helped). But then when I got back on subject and asked whether he liked Wisconsin or Vanderbilt, he said "Cross Plains." At that point I gave up and translated it to Wisconsin.

Then Darby picked Georgetown to go all the way because he heard the word "George," and right now Curious George is the hottest trend in the house. He probably thinks Curious George is on the team. It's not the worst basis for picking an NCAA winner that I've heard of.
