For the adult women and even some of the men, these games are totally NOT about foorball,but they ARE about social status, peer cliques, and pecking order. That's not to say that there aren't a lot of nice people at the games, but maybe we don't change after high school sometimes as much as we think/hope that we do! Glad that you had a fun time and a chance to do something different for the evening. And little Elise got to go to her first football game! Have a fun weekend!<BR/> SusanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-1156619249142146842006-08-26T14:07:00.000-05:002006-08-26T14:07:00.000-05:00Meredith, I can see how the football stadium could...Meredith, I can see how the football stadium could bring back a lot of reminders of high school, I know it would for me!

I mean, really--as long as you are neat and clean, you'll look fine! And remember, your husband has seen you at your worst and probably still thinks you look 'h*t' (don't know if I can put that word here), so who cares about anyone else?Mom2furhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09919967314390699344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-1156591776971729452006-08-26T06:29:00.000-05:002006-08-26T06:29:00.000-05:00Low self esteem is obviously a part of it.
