Bert vs. Brett

Bert vs. Brett Our son Ben's fourth birthday is coming up very soon, and I got some tickets to "Sesame Street Live" to celebrate. My husband took the day off work, and I thought it would be a fun family outing for us.

My husband asked me when the show was, and I pulled the tickets out of my wallet.

"Let's see. Looks like the show is Sunday at 1 pm. It's during nap time but ..."

"Um, Kay. That's right during the Vikings playoff game."

"Oh. Whoops."

So, Bert is on one side of downtown Minneapolis and Brett is at the other end.

I weighed my hands on an imaginary scale in the air for him.

"Bert or Brett?" "Brett or Bert?"

Answer? Grandma is now going in daddy's place.

All of this option-weighing made my wheels start churning a Bert vs. Brett compare and contrast list.
