During my original post about kids, and girls in particularly, asking silly questions during sporting events I forgot to mention that they seem to never outgrow this instinct. My wife, who is a fairly knowledgeable sports fan, continues to stymie me with her questions while we are watching sports. And her questions always tend to be about the people not directly involved in the game, but somehow I am suppose to know what they are doing.
For example, she asked me during the World Series who was the guy in the Giants dugout wearing a golf shirt? He was on the screen for maybe a split second, behind the manager, pitching coach, and a player. Ask me a question about any of the people in uniform and I could at least give you a plausible answer. But no she wants to know who the guy was in the background who happened to just walk by the camera. This is only the latest example, but she asks at least one non-game related question a game and expects me to know the answer.
Oh well, at least the shear volume of questions from my wife is not as much as the girls. And she does make me laugh when she asks them.
