Definitely Not Cubs Fans

Kim's friend Stacy from Illinois thought it would be funny to send the girlies Chicago Cubs bibs, knowing that both Sally and Amelia are already rabid Cardinals fans. Kim decided that it would be unconscionable to have them wear the bibs without some editorial comment, so as you can see she put the girlies in Cardinals hats and crossed out the ridiculous Cubs logo.

Clearly our daughters are smart enough already to know that the Cubs are hopeless and that no one who knows anything about anything would be a Cubs fan. Our friend Kirsten and Julie's husband Gary are Cubs fans, but Kirsten only became a Cubs fan to aggravate her Cardinals friends in St. Louis. And Gary is from Minnesota or Milwaukee or one of those places, so he should really be a Warren Spahn fan or something.

Anyway, enjoy the picture of our girls mocking the hopeless 99-years-without-a-championship Cubs. What I love aboot Cubs fans, though, is that even though they are in first place at this very moment (one game ahead of the Cardinals) the Cubs fans know that they will figure out a way to screw it up. Completely and utterly without hope. I love it.
