Author's Notes:

So, this was basically my brain saying "You need a break from NaNoWriMo", and my Inner Dave Muse deciding we needed to see him taking Spencer home for Thanksgiving. Much sap and fluff ensued.

I honestly can't recall if we've ever seen Dave have a preference for a football team, but I figured if he grew up on Long Island, his family probably either supported the Giants or the Jets. I just picked one.

For the record, since this is set at a specific time and mentions specific games (I am a geek, see my research) on Thanksgiving Day in 1982 the New York Giants beat the Detroit Lions 13 - 6, and the Dallas Cowboys beat the Cleveland Browns 31 - 14.

so, what do you think Spencer's first word(s) was/were?

My first sentence was: No, I not!

[kyrdwyn]

Heh. I honestly don't know.

The evil part of me thinks Spencer gleefully said "Cowboys!" or some form of it during a Cowboys-Giants game, much to Dave's dismay.

I love that you are a geek in your research.

Yes, Dave would be a Giants fans because the Jets weren't around until the about 1960 and...GAH... I'm doing a football fic myself set in 1985 that involves Gideon and Rossi, with Gideon humming the "Super Bowl Shuffle" to annoy the hell out of Dave.

And I polled the crew at little_details about who Rossi would cheer for for my story. And spent a few hours on Wikipedia, the Giants' website and YouTube locating the video for said "Super Bowl Shuffle"... it's just as bad as I remembered it.

For the record, it would be the Giants more than likely, hating the Yankees and a reluctant Mets fan depending on how baseball crazy the family was.

Spencer in a mini-Giants tee. The I-formation Loved it! Bravo!

You know Dave was a Jets fan until Namath did that pantyhose commercial. *G*

This was very sweet.

[kyrdwyn]

LOL! He could have been!

Thanks!

[resolucidity]

You need to take more NaNoWriMo breaks if this is the result!
I love this universe you have created. Great job!

[kyrdwyn]

Thanks!

I've been working mostly on my cm_exchange during my breaks, but we'll see what else pops up!

[fabrisse]

Must add my vote for more in this universe. It works so beautifully. *puppy dog eyes*

I would love an entire baby Spencer verse....he is so cute. Great story and perfect little Nano sidetrack.

[kyrdwyn]

We'll see about an entire baby Spencer 'verse, but I'm glad you liked!

[crimsonquills]

This was too cute. *grins* I <3 Dave as a father.

[kyrdwyn]

Thanks!

Dave is pretty awesome as a Dad. Though I'm sure Spencer could point out things he didn't like. :)
