A Superbowl Observation...

The date is Sunday Feb 3. Superbowl Sunday. Two days earlier I got incredibly ill and have been waiting for the flu to subside before doing my observation. Needless to say we are within a couple of hours of the due time and I have not even observed anyone yet. So all drugged up, I went to my parents house to observe my two brothers, while they watched the superbowl together. This is their story.

My victims (ahem) or subjects is Miles who is 16. He has longer shaggy hair, is bone thin, and is shorter in size. And with him is Jordan, who is 14, he has a short buzz cut, and is bigger then miles even though he is younger. They both enter the room at the same time and turn the TV on to the superbowl. They both lay there for a minute and then Miles calls out to my sister's dog, “Tommy come here". Jordan, on the other side of the bed, says "Mr. Tommy come here." Miles looks at Jordan and says “Pretty sure, Tommy does not want to see you" Jordan then tells him to "shut up" Miles then says "Pretty sure you stink." Jordan then says to Miles "Pretty sure can shut up"

They both sit quite for a minute and then Miles says “who did you pick for the superbowl winner?" Jordan sits quietly and then replies "Giants." Miles rolls over so he is not facing Jordan and says "well the Giants are going to lose." Jordan says "Shut up." At that moment the dog stands up and runs out of the room. Miles rolls over looks at Jordan and says "Tommy ran away from you, just like Chelsea did." Miles then starts to laugh. Jordan then tells Miles to “shut up.” Jordan sits up and slugs Miles. Jordan slugs Miles twice and says "I am going to rub my feet all over you." Jordan then begins to rub his feet all over Miles. Miles yells "Stttttoooop." Jordan stops, removes his feet, and then there is silence.

Miles looks up and calls to the dog again "Tommy come here." Jordan then says, "Miles did you go for the Patriots?" Miles replies "yes, do you know who the halftime show is?" Jordan replies "yeah, it is...something, something and heartbreakers...or the heartbreak kid...or something" While Jordan is saying this his feet move over and hit Miles in the back. Miles then yells, "Jordan, if you touch me with your feet again I am going to break your toe." They begin slugging each other and mumbling stuff you can't hear. The slugging stops, and Miles says, "I don't want to watch this. Let's watch Nickelodeon" Miles begins to change the channel. Jordan yells "Don't!" He continues to rub his feet all over Mile's arm. Jordan stops and leans forward looking closely at Miles’ arm. "Whoa your arm is red now", Jordan says, "Sorry your arm is red". Miles does not seem to notice the statement and changes the channel to Nickelodeon. He then laughs "Ha, Zoey 101." Jordan starts rubbing his feet all over Miles again and yells "Change it back" Miles slugs Jordan and says "fine we'll watch your game" There is silence for a moment as Miles changes back the channel.

On TV the Fox NFL robot comes on and starts dancing. Miles says, "I hate that robot, he is so shiny and stupid". Jordan rolls over and grabs his stomach with his hands and then says "My tummy wummy hurts from my gummy wummy". Miles stares at him for a moment and then says, "Well I am leaving to watch something else." They both stop and stare at the TV and watch has a commercial comes on. The commercial is a man dressed up like a giant rat attacking some other guy for his Doritos. When the commercial ends they both start to laugh and then Miles sits up and leaves the room.
