Last time I watched football with my mother was the Patriots / Broncos playoff game. To illustrate my point about her knowing less about football than your average non-football fan:

*I return to the room from the restroom*
MOM: You missed it! Tebow just rushed for 8...uh...somethings.
*Long pause*
ME: Do you mean, yards?
MOM: Oh! Yeah! I meant yards!

There is not enough time to teach her football things, so I hoped that nothing too confusing would happen in the Superbowl to cause her to ask ridiculous questions of me. Of course there had to be a goddamn safety in the first half.

She still has no idea what that means, and kept asking if EVERYTHING that involved the end zone in any way, shape, or form was a safety.
