Let me begin by saying that we never watch football. I think the last football game my girls saw was last year's Super Bowl. Or maybe a few minutes of the Auburn game for the championship, only because we had it on because we know Jeff Grimes.
So, they have VERY limited experience with this sport.
And by very limited, I mean...virtually none. Although Jenna informs me that they do know what a quarterback is. (Thank you, best friend, Hannah Fox. You've enriched my youngest child's life with your knowledge of sports)
Beyond quarterback, they know, well, that the game is played with an odd-shaped ball. This makes for some very unique comments while finally watching a game.
I thought I'd let you all catch a glimpse of what it sounds like when you watch the Super Bowl at the Smith house.
It's not pretty.
But it is funny.
And so, I present, random comments from kickoff through the halftime show, courtesy Anya, Emily and Jenna.

Who is happy about that play? The green guys or the white guys?
Did you see that? That guy just slapped the quarterback on the butt! Gross.
That guy [in the huddle] was just pulling his tights out of his butt. Ewww.
Super Bowl XLV. Extra large Vulcan?
I think we should watch a musical during the super bowl.
[As they show Ron Howard in the stands] That’s Opey, right?
[During the "Transformers" commercial] According to that movie, the whole world should be dead by now.
A cheese hat? Really?
[After asking me about the basics of football] Dad, how do YOU know so much about this game? {Editor's note: it's a fair question.}
Do the referees basically just help the green and white guys get off to the side and make sure they all don’t kill each other?
What the heck kind of name is Roethlisberger? Let’s just call him Booger.
That guy’s hair looks like a girl. I think he is a girl. But girls don’t play football. Girls don’t really want to play football. Well…we don’t.
[After a sideline celebration] Yo bro! They got the bro hug.
Oh my gosh. Look at his butt jiggle.
[When the game came back on after a commercial] If you see a funny commercial, rewind and pause, ‘cause I have to go to the bathroom.
There’s a pen sticking out of the green coach’s hat. I really think someone just put it there to make him look stupid.
[Upon seeing a player named “Ward”] I wonder if he’s mormon?
[When it’s halftime] Finally something not boring.
Fergie actually has come clothes on. She's modest....for Fergie.
[When the halftime show ends] Okay, back to the snoozefest...
What in the world is with the purple? Why are the announcers both wearing purple ties? I don’t get it!
----------I love those happy little girls.
