Life with a 14 Year Old (24)
Last night during the Avs game, she brought me a copy of the NHL Rules for how many goalies should be dressed for a game. She basically handed them to me and said “so there”, still obviously steaming from our bus stop conversation that morning. I read the page and a half rules of how many players should be on the bench and I quickly told her, “I was right”. She responded, “no, I was right”.Â
One big difference between me and my 14 year old is she reads things literally and I don’t. Although the rules do say, “two goalies dressed”, the rules don’t say specifically what should happen if one of those goalies then gets hurt.
I believe the rules go my way if one or both goalies get hurt. She believes the rule has to be followed regardless of whether one or both goalies get hurt.
Hmmm. I have not yet figured out how I raised such a conformist.
