I had a very interesting talk with Neighbour John last night. If you follow this blog you know that I often write about the exploits of Neighbour and his fine family.
Every year during March break, John takes his sons on what I have labeled incredible journeys. You can read about them by searching, Incredible Journey at the top right hand corner.
John and the boys visit NHL arenas and at every stop along the way they pick up souvenirs.
In 2007 they went to Montreal, New Jersey and Philadelphia. Three games in four nights.
But here's the delicious part of the story. At every rink they visit John buys the boys a souvenir hat, and believe me, they have quite the collection.
But what they don't have is a Canadiens hat. When John took the boys to the Bell Centre and offered to buy them caps, they declined.
This is a wonderful story because it goes back to something I wrote about last week.
I was brought up to despise the Habs and I've instilled the same emotion in my son Daniel, and it seems John has done the same for his boys.
As tempting as it was the boys to pick up another hat for the collection, they could not bring themselves to put a Habs cap atop their brainwashed heads. They told their dad to save his money.
We can only hope they hold on to this impressive attribute throughout their lives.
It's quite emotional!
