This is not new for my family. It's just never been a thing for us. When my oldest was five. I caught him explaining to a young friend of his: "We're Quaker. We don't celebrate the Superbowl." He assumed it was some kind of religious holiday the way people talked about it.10 Feb 2025 01:16 +0000at://did:plc:7mxegu6fydbylthdeobwoqda/app.bsky.feed.post/3lhrxtsgrgc25https://bsky.app/profile/kgbwriter.bsky.social/post/3lhkmf2asjc2kIn college I was once so tired that I couldn't think of the word "tired."
