When I was in College - went to college in my 20's - they had bootleg hats that had Sox (insert s word underneath that) on them (White Sox is the other Chicago team). I was talking to my boyfriend at the time about them, and was laughing because printers were getting busted for printing them - story in the newspapers that week. Yes, it was looked down upon.
We went to game that day, and was taking in Chicago prior. I went inside some establishment to use the ladies room. I came out, and what did he have in his hands? Yep. The bootleg hats! Yet, I just couldn't wear it. He was teasing me about that.
I was in the game, and my EEEEEEEEEEEVil side came out! I looked to the right, and I looked to the left. Evil thoughts were making me giggle. I grabbed it from within my purse, and finally put it on. I was so PROUD of myself! lol I don't know why, because I was paranoid at the same time. I was a Cubs fan! Yet, they never won anything! I just couldn't help myself. I got no bad comments, and NOPE I didn't get busted for wearing it that day.
My parents laughed when I told them about it, and my mother played like she was horrified. Picture this - mother horrified but couldn't help but giggle and snicker under breath. Yep. Cub's fan! My brother wanted to borrow it, and Dad just laughed...Mother told him NOT in MY HOUSE! Yes, it is just a healthy competition between teams.
I'm OLD at this point, and I bet I still have that hat in my memoirs box! It would be so NON illegal at this point to actually wear it with pride! Yep, just to rub some neighbors noses in it. CUBS never win anyway...they said. They ROT they said. HA! I was always loyal (big cheesy grin).
I told the H about that hat years ago - prior to adult kids being even a thought. He asked me tonight if I still had it. lol! Hmm. Being EVIL again? Maybe...just maybe! (shrugs) Maybe I will dig it out!
