I wear a lot of Michigan apparel. I have probably too many t-shirts, advertising my favorite school and the school that my boys attend. I get a lot of comments too whenever I wear any of it. Most of the time it's positive--people asking if I went there, telling me that they went there--but occasionally people like to tease me about it, especially if their school colors are scarlet and grey.
Today, I headed to JoAnn Fabrics with leftover Michigan fabric that I had bought in Ann Arbor months ago. I'm making a dress for Baby, and I needed to match thread and a zipper to the fabric. Afterwards, I tucked the fabric into the JoAnn's bag, and I walked over to Barnes and Noble. I headed to the bathroom first, seeing as they don't want any merchandise taken from there, and since I knew that I would eventually need to go in there. As I was opening the door to the women's restroom, I heard, "Excuse me" behind me. I was prepared to explain that I had no books or magazines hidden away for a quick bathroom read when the woman said, "Did you get that...I mean, is that Michigan...did you get that at JoAnn's?" with a direct point to my bag.
Turns out, she's a quilter, and her husband is a HUGE Michigan fan. She sheepishly smiled at me, and said, "I'm sure you didn't get THAT here, did you?" I then explained to her that I had bought it in Ann Arbor, and I suggested that she should take another trip there (since her last trip there had been for the Penn State/Michigan game).
That's right, baby, even in rural Pennsylvania, we are the leaders, and the best.
