My Wack Job Family

So one of my nieces, Meg, is having a baby and we had a surprise shower for her today. It was a three hour drive for her and her sisters and Mushing Mum to get here. They got her here by telling her today was the big experiment that Cyclin' Granny had blogged about way back when (Click here to read it) . This was the day CG, MM, Devon (the negligent blogger) and Gryper were going to put their tongues on frozen metal. Sound nuts? It was.

As it was right in the vicinity of freezing it wasn't cold enough to do it outside, but determined Gryper was not to be put off. He spent last evening washing nails, putting them in plastic tubs and then into the freezer. By the time all the guests arrived, they were ready.

Gryper pulled out the first tub from the freezer, and they each in turn stuck their tongues into the tub, picking up as many nails as possible. Then they tried seeing if they could steal them from each others tongues. The whole thing simply put, wasn't pretty, but I'll let you be the judge.

Your still a beginner Cheryl.... you have to do it on a pole or fence outside next and then eventually actually pull your tongue off...

Then within a few hours you have to have hot chocolate. Then and only then will you move into the advanced school of tongue sticking.
