Will you eat … ?

Posted in Daily Bread on January 18, 2011 by dunnthat

When my boys were little my husband used to play this awesome game with them.  It began with a poem:

There was an old woman with a stick and a staff
And you must neither smile nor laugh
But say right now, “I will…”

Then he would ask, “Will you eat …. ” followed by the grossest thing he could think of.  The object of the game is to neither smile nor laugh – and say “I will.” 

This was hard.

Examples:  “Will you eat pig guts?”  Answer:  “I will.”  “Will you eat turkey snot?”  “I will.”  “Will you eat lizard brains?”  “I will.”  “Will you eat elephant plaque?”  “I will.”

You get the idea.  My boys loved this game.  *I* loved this game.

But now it’s ruined.  Because every time I watch The Bachelor (yes – still watching – still can’t look away from the train wreck…Michelle what the CRAP??) and he asks, “Will you accept this rose?” and then she answers, “I will” … all I can think is “Will you eat cow boogers?”

And the moment is lost.
