pen_gruntAbout a week ago Derrick and I were laying in bed. I rolled over an noticed that he was wearing a necklace. He hasn't done this since his favorite one broke early in our dating days.
I traced the chain down, "What is this?"
"Oh," Derrick shrugs, "It's the patron saint of hockey. It's for good luck for hockey."
He's wearing a Saint Christopher medal with a hockey player on the other side. Uh. Patron saint of hockey?
"So you're perverting your Catholic heritage and using it as a good luck charm?" I ask, amused.
"Yes, every time I've worn it, our team has won."
This medallion is now known as "Hockey Jesus". The Wild lost on Wednesday.
"But I thought you were wearing your Hockey Jesus."
"I was, but I went to the bathroom three times. They beat us 3-2. Coincidence? I think not," he says as he puts Hockey Jesus back on his dresser.
I am amused.
