Crazy, But O' SO true

It just dawned on me last night when I was putting the boys to bed

after a weekend at my parents house.

We have a crazy tradition!

My family has TONS of traditions and I LOVE them all,

BUT I think this "NEW TRADITION" is my all time FAVE!

It doesn't have to be the holidays, it's just when the family

gets together, we always, let me rephrase that,

my brother Robert, always bets my sister to eat something

or do something crazy.

I believe it all started with eating 20 twinkies in 20 min.

I think she knocked down 13 and pooed cream for weeks.

There was the hamburger challenge. For every hamburger

she ate she would get 15 dollars, keep in mind,

we're not talking about sliders, we are talking Big Jud" style burgers.

3 burgers later, she was walking away with 45 big ones!

Sometimes my mom will step in and get upset.

One time we were going to pay her 100 dollars to shave her head.

with my mom screaming at us, in tears, that one we'll have to visit

at a later date.

I can't remember what the challenge was but one time

Grandma McBride and Aunt Kris stepped in and payed her not

to do the challenge. Can anyone say BOOOOOO!

This Thanksgiving it was 4 slices of cream pie in 15 minutes.

This is at the end of the night when everyone already feels

completely full and disgusting. Also, Mikkel, she's lactose intolerant.

All that she was getting for this one was 30 dollars.

After throwing back her lactose pill, the bet was on!

We thought she was messing with us when she started burping

and gaging. She was making record time and really only had

maybe 1 1/2 pies left.

Her gag reflexes proved to be TOO much, she couldn't hang on.

She ran out the front door and doubled over my Mom's shrubs and..

You guessed it! OUT CAME LOTS AND LOTS OF CREAM PIE!

With some time remaining she was allowed to scoop up the

cream re-eat it and keep going with the one bit she had left

in the pie tin. She just couldn't do it. She called it quits...

We'll have to see what the challenge will be at Christmas.

It will be good because my Sista Mikkel hates to LOSE

and for a month she has to be on a loosing streak!

Traditions are great.
