On Holiness (and Funky Butts)

Saturday, November 15, 2008 - Comments 4

I have a confession to make: I notice people’s butts. I know that sounds creepy, and you’re probably dubious about reading further. But hear me out.

It’s not that that I’m looking at them from a sexual perspective. Well, at least not most of the time. I notice them because, quite frankly, I’m fascinated by them.

Haven’t you ever stood up to worship in church, or been in line at Starbucks, and noticed the great variety of, um, behinds in front of you? What’s so fascinating to me is how different they all are. Some are small, some are larger. Some are round, some squarish. Some aren’t even there at all. (These are the ones that fascinate me the most… How does that work, exactly? Is it just two legs going all the way up to their back? Maybe that’s where the term ‘backside’ came from. But I digress…)

I’ve created a monster.

You see, I’m a Nebraska Football fan and as such I have fulfilled my duty to indoctrinate my 8 year-old son Spencer in all of the traditions, myths and customs of a Husker Fan. Recently I took him to his first Nebraska game in Lincoln where he enjoyed screaming at the top of his lungs for the home team, complete with giant foam hat, foam finger and red-painted face. We toured the trophy rooms and I tutored him on the heroes (Tommie Frazier, Tom Osborne) and villains (Oklahoma and Colorado) of Husker Nation.

Overall I believed this to be a good thing, after all, it is male-bonding in its purest form. Together we cheered when Nebraska scored a touchdown and on the drive back to the hotel we recounted the best parts of the game.
