The Stay At Home Office Pool

We call it the stay-at-home office pool.

But it's really my husband's attempt to use reverse psychology on me to allow him to watch every single bowl game, every single day for the next three weeks.

He comes home from work with a special piece of paper hidden away in his work bag for me. It's an empty score sheet for his office pool.

He tells me, “Make your picks! It'll be fun!” while he slyly starts planning our lives around the game schedule.
