Well, when you put it that way...

As we came home from the ball game tonight...

Me: Let me just start recording the Olympics before we put the kids to bed, so I don't miss the swimming.

Luke: Is it on? Did you miss it?

Me: No, it's still the marathon. Some Romanian chick is about to win it, see?

Luke: What, does she run around the stadium a hundred and four times???

Me: No, I think they run through the streets of Beijing and come into the stadium for the last bit.

Luke: Good, 'cause that would be incredibly boring to watch them just circle the track over and over again!

Me: Yeah, it would be like watching Nascar.
