My kids know my affinity for comfy warm clothes and forced me to buy an Elite Eleven hoodie late last year.

I am very glad I listened, as it's the most comfy fleece garment I've ever owned.

Also, I may be the oldest person to wear one, if yesterday's trip to the footy is anything to go by.

I'm scared to asked. Who'd you go for Saints or Magpies?

[–] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Not a huge footy fan, but about 15 years ago I picked St. Kilda as my team.

Everyone in my family goes for a different club.... daughter picked Pies

She hasn't spoken to me since last night.

Thank fuck for that. As for your daughter it's not to late to take her back to the hospital you know.

Seriously I grew up in household with all of us barracking for different teams. It makes shit interesting.

I let my kids live with their decisions/mistakes.

Fuck'en hell, my son barracks for the Bombers after all.

As long as there's no Cats or blues supporters, I'm happy.

I spent two years working in Geelong amongst cat's supporters.

All I can say, they don't deserve happiness.

I have a friend who refuses to go to a Geelong home game because "they feral down there". πŸ˜‚
