Also, for the person asking about how to make sandwitch, I wrote a list on how to make grilled cheese back in 3rd grade. Let me check my notes.
If I were the kid, I would switch negotiation gears. I can see my mom saying no because all three are a variation of spiderman. I would look to add a bad guy to the standard spiderman. Spiderman has to have someone to fight.

This is my stance on a lot of things as well. My roommate often asks me about a player and I give him my little rundown and then he looks up his stats and I just shrug...I don't know the numbers. I don't know who led the league in save pct. or GAA or whatever, but I can tell you who the best goalies in the league were...when we did that voting ballot for the awards, it was not stat-guided. I also watched more NHL this year probably because I didn't have as many "juniors nights" or anything like that. In previous years, I would take some nights off from the NHL and watch major junior or AHL games, that happened much less frequently this year.

That said, I40, one does require some fundamental understanding of the game to make even a rudimentary evaluation, I feel. I've watched hockey with a number of people who think something is going on on the ice when it really isn't...

Yeah I guess my idea of what a casual fan is is skewed since the people I talk hockey with either on here or among my friends are all people who watch at least a game a night.

I would just make her read the Secret Wars TPB that I had. Then the Venom intro books I had. Boom.
