I got an A&M dinner tray set for Christmas and I went to LSU.

For years my mother in law bought our kids stuff from Auburn or Clemson. I told my wife that she was doing it on purpose and she said she didn't know any better. She asked me not say anything so I did not for 3 years...then I casually mentioned it to both of them and the MIL busted out laughing and said "I thought you'd never catch on....". I told her her daughter had insisted I keep quite and that she thought she just did not know any better....which ended up with them getting in a knock down drag out fight involving several generations of their family living and long since dead being brought into it. In a round a bout way I kind of won that battle but to be honest my kids having that shite in their closet wasn't worth the price of victory no matter how satisfying...
