We went to another Pirates play-off game Saturday night and took grandpa with us. The kids were psyched the team won and have now decided the grandpa jinx is over.

After putting on our white t-shirts for the game on Saturday night, we had a little fun with our current Flat Stanley visitors. They needed to share in our team spirit.

But after listening to the game last night, the kids and I decided we had to go to the next game in person to cheer on the team.

"We might be good luck mom!"

So they're not only fans, they have their own good/bad luck superstitions. This certainly isn't what I expected after first introducing them to hockey earlier this year. And as if it wasn't obvious by now, they don't feel bad for the other team losing anymore - those days are long gone.

If you're a Pirates fan, tell us how you cheer on the team.
