USA vs Scotland

Last night Ben was buying tickets for the football/soccer match tonight.

Ben: "Where should we sit? On the US side or on Scotland's side?"

Jacinda: "Scotland of course"

Ben: Pause "Really? They are going to loose"

Jacinda: "So"

A moment passes

Ben: a bit of uncertainty in his voice, "I think I want to sit on the US side, it would feel weird not to".

Jacinda: heartless as ever, "What am I suppose to do on the US side?"

Ben: silence

It begins to dawn on her, that if the situation was reversed she would never sit on a side that opposed her country, no matter what Ben wanted.

Jacinda: with understanding, "I guess you are an American. You should sit on the US side, I don't mind".

Ben: "Are you sure" 

Jacinda: "Yip"

Ben: "But is that what you want?"

Jacinda: "No, but we have a dilemma. You are an American and so you should support your country. I'm not and so I have an natural responsibility to cheer for any team that opposes the States, I feel like a traitor sitting on the US side. But it's okay, because I would never let you make me sit on a side that opposed New Zealand."

Ben: "Alright, Im booking the tickets"

This morning

Jacinda: "Hey, what are Scotland's colours?"

Ben: "Are you serious? You're going to wear Scotland's colours!"

Jacinda: "Of course, I'm still going to cheer for Scotland."

Ben: "This is going to be embarrassing."
