The Super Bowl and Nature’s ugliest creatures

Why watch the Super Bowl when you can learn about the dung beetle?

 It’s Sunday night and the Super Bowl just ended. That means tomorrow is going to be hell at work. Everyone’s going to be talking about “the game.” The good news is that by midweek , football sports talk will be a thing of the past. At least, until next September when it starts all over again. But we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it.

 Needless to say, I didn’t watch the Super Bowl. Instead, I was riveted to a show on PBS, the Beauty of Ugly, which was about Nature’s ugliest creatures, including the dung beetle.

Thankfully, Luke, my seven-year-old, watched the Super Bowl. Before Luke went to bed, I hit him up for a recap of the game so I could prepare for my fake sportsgasm tomorrow.

Here’s what I learned from him:  

• The New Orleans Saints won
• It was a close game; down to the last few minutes
• The final score was New Orleans Saint (31), Indianapolis Colts (17)

Thanks to my seven-year-old son, I should be able to fake a good sportsgasm tomorrow. I’ll have to return the favor. Maybe tomorrow after dinner, I’ll tell Luke everything I learned about the dung beetle.
