Go Eagles!

When I walk the kids home from school, we pass a flag outside one of our neighbors' homes that reads, "Go Beavers." Not too rare in our neck of Cascadia to see a Beavers flag. DQ asked me what the flag said. So now whenever we pass it, she says, "Go Beavers go!"

Since this would dismay her grandparents, both alums of the rival University of Oregon, I had to teach her "Go Ducks Go!" too. Then she started extrapolating... Go Moose! Go Zebras! Go Rhinos!

Then, at breakfast this morning, "Go Turtles!" Her daddy quickly corrected her. "We never say Go Turtles, honey."

Or how about the Evergreen State Geoducks? (pronounced Gooey-ducks for you non-Cascadians).
