Family Tragedy?

My daughter has meet a very nice young man. They appear to be getting serious.

He is polite, articulate, intelligent, educated, gainfully employed, has no tattoos with misspellings, appears to have all of his teeth, treats her very well, treats her son very well, treats his kids very well, and doesn't believe in the designated hitter.

Still, I worry about this one. He's a Cubs fan.

His football allegience is also questionable - he's a fan of the Dolphins - but I can live with that. After all, it's not the Cowboys.

I am from St. Louis. I am a Cardinals fan. Had I been blessed with three boys instead of three girls, I would have named them Stan (Muscial), Lou (Brock), and Bob (Gibson). I would not have objected if my daughter had wanted to name her son Ozzie (Smith). When asked why I used to take off work and pull the girls out of school to attend the first day baseball game, I would always tell people it was a family religious tradition - and I was only mostly kidding.

Can a mixed relationship like this survive?

The guy has already demonstrated he's smarter than you, has better judgement than you, and more character than you by being a Cubs fan so you should have no worries that your daughter won't be treated well.

:P
