How To Eat Fried Worms

There is no school today for the boys. In order to keep the sanity and also have some fun for the day off, I took the boys to the movie "How To Eat Fried Worms". For those of you moms who have boys, it is a must see and such a reality. For those of you who have girls, you should go see it to appreciate girls!! :)

It was a cute movie. Tyler even watched the whole thing without asking when it was going to be over. I think the whole thought of having to eat 10 worms in one day and the bet was worth the watching for both of my boys. We then had a talk on the way home about bets and the meaning of the movie. Comical, to say the least. I just wanted to make sure they knew that eating worms is not allowed!

So it has got me thinking...what is something outrageous you have done or what crazy bets have you made? The only one I can think of for me, because I am not adventurous, is in college I ate a baked cricket for extra credit in zoology. Oddly enough it did not have much flavor at all. But I have seen the food channel shows where bugs are considered a very fancy meal in some countries. I don't think I could do it. My stomach is a little quesy now from watching the movie.

I'm not super adventurous like that--especially when it comes to food...I've eaten a sheep that I watched get slaugthered. Now that was nasty, but I had no choice...

I think being married to my husband is enough adventure for me. I let him do the crazy things. I once ripped the tags off my mattress. . .does that count? :)~

my youngest stuck M&M's up her nose when she was 21 months old. She cried as colors of yellow and red came out of each nostril.
I guess she just figured that those holes in her head were meant for something.
This all happend in the truck on our way to S. Dakota for vacation. We spent most of the WY drive laughing our head off. Desiree
