The Match That Almost Stopped Irene's Heart

well if you don't already know by now Irene is obsessed with Roger Federer or Fedex as she likes to call him by his nickname. anyways as you might know, he is currently playing in the Australian open in Melbourne and was playing his fourth round match today against Tomas Berdych from Czech just after church. because of Irene's obsession we decided to watch this match expecting Federer to blast past his opponent easily and get through to the next round. well that didn't happen at all, he started the game poorly and made alot or errors and lost the first 2 sets and looked like he would lose and get kicked out of the tournament. usually on sundays irene is reverent and quiet as a mouse, mellow and relaxed but today however she was so tense and uptight from watching her fave player get beat that she was screaming out loud through nearly every point and sreaming "C'MON!!". I threatened her at one point that if she didnt quiet down i would have to give her a time out and put her in the naughty corner :) to which she gave me a (ARE YOU KIDDING ME BUDDY LOOK). anyways after i explained to her that sunday wasnt over yet:) she settled down a little, but i think it was mainly due to the fact that roger Federer won the 3rd set and looked like he could come back. well as a true champion does, the Fedex came back to win the match in 5 sets which made irene one happy tennis loving filipino:) so in conclusion to my story while i am grateful that i have a wife that shares a love of sports as i do, i sometimes pretend that im not with her when we go to live events as she get right into it like those crazy people that paint themselves and shout out when nobody else does :) (embarrassing at times but also funny to watch)
