Madden's BFF, Siri

Mr. Madden loves the Siri option on his ipad mini. It's quite the love affair they have going on. Any time there's hockey on, the first thing he does the next morning hen he gets up is grab the ipad and ask:

"Siri, did the HABS win last night?!?!"

"I'm sorry, I do not understand what you're asking me..."

"Did the Montreal Canadiens WIN last night?!"

And Siri brings him the score. He loves it.

Conversely, he also asks,

"Siri, did the Leafs LOSE last night?!"

*notice the subtleties in the way the two questions are asked

However, yesterday may have taken the cake... picture him laying on the hardwood floor in the living room...After chatting with Siri for a little bit, I hear,

"Siri, did you know I'm a hockey player, too?" 

"I'm sorry... what did you say?" 

"Did you KNOW that I play hockey? I'm A HOCKEY PLAYER..." 

"Sorry, I can't answer that right now..." 

"SIRI, I PLAY HOCKEY. I'M A HOCKEY PLAYER." 

"Sorry, I do not understand..." 

"Jesus, Mary and Joseph..."

And Siri brings up this:

"MOM! Siri knows Jesus!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Tonight's starting line up..." December 13, 2013

The night he "practiced his whole life for"

It was a big moment!

We got a phone call asking us if Madden wanted to be the Screaming Eagles 7th player at the hockey game!

When I finally decided to tell him (which I wasn't' going to in fear he wouldn't sleep with excitement!), he just stood there in stunned silence.

What does that mean?

Well, you know when the starting line up comes out & lines up for 'O Canada', then a little Eagle comes out? Well, you're gonna be that little Eagle tomorrow (Friday) night!

Seriously?!

Yep.

Wow. I've waited and practiced my whole life for this! Remember when I was standing right there when I was two and you took a video of me doing this to O Canada?! Now I get to do it!

And so he did! With his favourite player, Jason Bell #4.

The Imaginary Friend Stage

Yeah, I know. I know it's not normal that Madden is playing hockey here in the kitchen, conversing with his imaginary friend, Budaj, who just happens to be the back-up goalie for the Habs. Apparently Budaj hates the game today.

Hockey. Obsessed.
