Izzy predicts the Redskins game

On 21 October 2007, Izzy looked at me and said, "Put me in the Redskins trash can, because I predict that they will get BLOWN OUT by the Patriots next weekend."

I said, "Izzy, you're a baby. You don't know anything about football. And you don't belong in a trash can."

She responded with, "I watch football every weekend with Daddy. We both watch through our eyelids, which helps filter out all the bad plays. Plus, I've been watching football my whole life, since I was born. You even tried to schedule my birth around football games (not on Thursday through Monday because of football.) I accomodated by arriving Tuesday Morning. We were home from the hospital by Thursday, just in time for football.

I countered with, "But Izzy, it's a garbage can."

Being the know-it-all that she is, she said, "It's a RECYCLING can, and it only had magazines in it. Plus, it's such a clear way of indicating my prediction. Redskins = garbage. It will just be for a minute."

Because she had backed me into a corner, I agreed. Here's the result.
