Game after game, Trubisky proves his ability to lead the offense and put points on the board, even during stressful situations. After he exhibited his clutch factor at the beginning of this season, it’s easy to imagine Trubisky leading the Bears past any team on their way to a super bowl win.

The wacky songs in Mary Poppins encourage laughter but also our personal connection to the characters. “‘Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious’ is an entertaining song sung during the horse riding episode.” “This song has a tune that gets stuck in your head, partially due to lyrics such as “um-diddle-iddle-iddle-um-diddle-i”, which lift your spirits when you hear them. Furthermore, the song is based on this ridiculously long word, which provides comic relief in the scene when George Banks finally breaks down and laughs at the bank when he is being fired from his job. His inappropriate laughter is a situation with which the audience can identify and with which they can then laugh along.”
