You can't predict 'em

While contemplating what it'll be like when the Butterbean makes the great escape, it's easy to daydream about the Sears catalog kid. But I can't allow myself to predetermine the attitude of the Butterbean. For all I know, the kid will be a brat from the start. Or a nice little kid with big eyes and a nervous hand. When you predict too much, you just get disappointed. I think also you get annoyed when they won't follow your program instead of you adapting the plan to the game on the field. This isn't football where you chart out your first 20 plays.
