Dave and the boys were in the family room playing the Wii (I know, sounds like we do that a lot... maybe or maybe not, but we just don't get fun stories from anything else...). Spencer messed up on something and said, "I am such a loser!" (I would wonder where he gets those kinds of phrases, but I know exactly where he heard it - starts with D, rhymes with wave.) Dave immediately spoke up without missing a beat, saying something that I never imagined I would ever hear...
"You're not a loser. You can't be a loser. Your dad is not a loser and your mom is not a loser, therefore, it is genetically impossible for you to be a loser."
Spencer accepted this explanation and moved on. I sat there and marveled at my husband's logic. I do wonder if "loser-ness" is dominant or recessive. If it's recessive, then two non-losers could make a loser, if they both carry the gene... hmmm...

Well, just to set the record straight, there is some 'loser-ness' in your genetic pool...I didn't make cheerleader, and Dad didn't make the high school basketball team. I am sorry that this is true, but you may have to break the news to your son, (and to Dave)
