We like to tease Atticus while we are driving to church on Sunday, passing jayhawk sculptures along the way. "Don't look out your window or you'll see a jayhawk." And he covers his face with his hands until he knows we've passed the site of the jayhawk (there are 30 large jayhawk mascots throughout the city--"Jayhawks on Parade"). Today our friend, Ken Baird, asked Atticus if he likes jayhawks. With a strong defensiveness in his tone he replied, "I like jayhawks. I'm a jayhawk man."
