An actual conversation:<\/p>\n
Me: I don’t know how you are not watching the Royals right now, but in case you’re interested, it’s the top of the 8th, bases loaded, we just scored a run, and they’re changing pitchers.<\/p>\n
Dad: I’ve watched way more baseball than you in my lifetime.<\/p>\n
Me: Okay… Well, you do have a 30-year headstart.<\/p>\n
Dad: But I like baseball more than you.<\/p>\n
Me: Um, I don’t know, Dad.<\/p>\n
Dad: And I like football more too.<\/p>\n
Me: But I have season tickets…<\/p>\n
Dad: But you’ve been to more soccer games than me. You can have soccer.<\/p>\n
Me: And rugby?<\/p>\n
Dad: Definitely, and rugby. That should equal basketball.<\/p>\n
Me: Oh yeah, you get basketball.<\/p>\n
Dad: And tennis? We can split tennis.<\/p>\n
Me: I really don’t know what is happening here, Dad. Are we actually competing over who likes which sport more?<\/p>\n
Dad: Ah! Golf.<\/p>\n
Me: You get golf.<\/p>\n
Dad: Yeah, I get golf.<\/p>\n
Me: In fact, I might even give<\/em> you football if you’ll take golf.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" An actual conversation:<\/p>\n Me: I don’t know how you are not watching the Royals right now, but in case you’re interested, it’s the top of the 8th, bases loaded, we just scored a run, and they’re changing pitchers […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":759,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-632","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/obeythecoxswain.com\/blog\/images\/baseball_historic.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1cfPl-ac","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/obeythecoxswain.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/632","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/obeythecoxswain.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/obeythecoxswain.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/obeythecoxswain.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/obeythecoxswain.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=632"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/obeythecoxswain.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/632\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":760,"href":"https:\/\/obeythecoxswain.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/632\/revisions\/760"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/obeythecoxswain.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/759"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/obeythecoxswain.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=632"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/obeythecoxswain.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=632"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/obeythecoxswain.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=632"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
