The Ravens game reminded me of a story. Evelyn has heard plenty of talk about the Ravens between her fanatical teacher's aide at school (who regularly dyes purple streaks into her gray hair) and the other Ravens fans in her life. Early in the season she'd awakened from her Sunday afternoon nap and come down during the third quarter of a game.
We told her who was playing and she jumped up and started cheering, "Go Raisins! Go Raisins! Go Raisins!"
We've since cleared up our diction and she's now cheering for the dark bird of Poe's prose instead of the dried fruit.
