After weeks of convincing Mother finalyl agreed to watch the football game with the family on Sunday afternoon.

"Ihope this doesn't INTERFERE with Sunday dinner," Mother warned
"No," we explained. "We have the PORTABLE TV set up in the kitched so you won't have to miss any plays while you're making dinner."
Grudgingly, Mother sat in her comfortable easy chair to watch the TRANSMISSION From Comboy Stadiu,. After the intro fanfare, the announcers introduced the startling line up.
The coin was tossed and the game began. After a few plays the Cowboys were forced to kick the ball. A referee suddenly blew his whistle.
"What happened?" mother asked
"It's a penalty." we explained.
"What for?" she persisted
"Intereference," we further explained.
"Well isn't that the idea of this game?" she continued? " Shouldnt our team stop the other team from moving the ball?"
"Not in this case. it's against the rules." Several plays later, another penalty was called on the field. The quarterback ran to the coach on the sidelines to REFER his judgement.
"Now what?" Mother asked
"The team is deciding wheter to accept the penalty"
"They have a choice?" She asked incredulously. "So they need a CONFERENCE to decide?"
"the penalty is on the other team" we clarified. "We have to decide whether it would benefit us if they took the penalty."
"Well that's just stupid." Mother snorted. "You need to translate the singlas the officials are making and then CONFER with each other to decide what to do. I'm going to go watch a different TV Show. At least I can understand what's going on!"
