What would you do for $100?

If you were 8 years old, your "would do" list would probably look a lot different.  At 38, I  can tell you what I would not do.  I would not lick a stink bug.  Last night we (my son and I) dared my 8 year old daughter to lick a stink bug.  She smiled, got down on the floor close to wear it was making it's way across the floor, jumped back up to confirm she would really get $100 if she did and with a big smile was right back to the sight.  She stuck her tongue out, caught the bug on the tip (not really a lick) and recovered quickly.  Well that certainly provided a great laugh for all, even my healing husband who was resting on the couch.  I'm pretty sure that will put off her first kiss until after high school as with in a few moments her brother had emailed everyone he knows that is connected.  Now his 4th grade teacher wants in for $100.  I'm pretty sure that it won't be her lack of interest in showering that will earn her the potential nicknames.  Hopefully most will see it as courageous & determined.  I see it as out $100.  Time to book another trunk show.
