“He’s Got a Pan on His Head” – Daphne Gramling

TinCaps logoI was just visiting the old Fort Wayne Wizards website. On the homepage, there is a picture of the new TinCaps logo. My four-year-old daughter happened to look at the screen just before I navigated to a new page. Here’s the conversation…

Daphne: “Hey, that’s the appleseed!” [I quickly flipped back recognizing I can do a bit of an experiment].

Chad: “Yep, that’s right honey. Do you like the apple?”

Daphne: “No.”

Chad: “You don’t?” [I was genuinely surprised]

Daphne: “Nope.” [Emphatically, as she shook her head]

Chad: “Well, why not?”

Daphne: “Cus he’s got a pan on his head.” [I laughed. She has no idea what the name of the team is.]

Chad: “Yes, honey. He does have a pan on his head.”

Daphne: “That’s mudiculous.” [that's not a typ-o. She said "mudiculous"]

Chad: “That’s the team we’re going to watch this year instead of the Wizards. Do you still want to go?”

Daphne: “Uh, yeah. Duh.”

A true baseball (and Dippin’ Dots) fan. I guess she has the same thoughts on the new name that I do.
