As an educator, I know that it's important to plot points on your learning curve.
Today I remembered a conversation Mike and I had about seven years ago, when we first started dating. We were watching that kid from Dawson's Creek struggle with worst Texas accent ever done in this cinematic masterpiece:
I have never understood why MTV insists on making movies.
Anyway, there's a scene where the coach (Jon Voight--man, he must have owed someone big time) tells Dawson--okay, the character's name is Mox (James Van Der Beek), who is a second-string quarterback promoted to starter, that "we're a running team." Mike laughed for the first and only time. I asked him why, and he told me that the coach had just insulted the quarterback. I had no idea what he was talking about.
Today, I looked at this man that I have since married, like I'd just discovered electricity, and said, "I know why that's an insult! Because it means that the coach doesn't trust the quarterback to pull off a passing play and just wants him to hand the ball to a running back!"
