Driving down the Grand Central Parkway this evening, we spied Citi Field just ahead of us, at which point, above the pulsating music emanating from the CD player, I heard Almost Ten Year Old shouting at the top of her lungs "Mets Stadium, BOO, BOO!" (Sung to the tune of: "Yankee Stadium, Ole,Ole," which had indeed been performed earlier on the Harlem River Drive).
As the car continued down the road, Six Year Old joined in, until she was admonished by an older sibling that we were passing the Tennis Center. Literally, without missing a beat, she changed the song to:
"Tennis Center, BOO,BOO!"
At which point Almost Ten Year Old very seriously intoned:
"We don't hate tennis."
To which Six Year Old AGAIN changed her lyrics, to a more positive:
"Tennis Center, Ole, Ole."
Ten Year Old in a most exasperated voice informed her sister:
"I didn't say we LOVE Tennis!"
Apparently, we are Tennis neutral.
