We had just finished dinner, not to mention the pickles, when Blake looked at Eric and said, "Dad, will you give me $16 to drink the pickle juice?" (For those of you who don't know, Eric is always doing this to me. For instance, I made $20 for drinking a 4 oz. bottle of baby formula!) Eric laughed and said, "Sure, Blake!"
And so it began........ There was probably 1/3 of the jar filled with juice. And he began to drink it slowly. At first, he kept saying, "MMmm, this is good!" Then that changed to a little bit of silence. Then we started hearing him say, "I don't think I can do this!" But he persevered. At one point, he actually puked....went to the bathroom, came back, rubbed his belly, and said, "Now I feel better, I'm ready to drink again!" Luke and I started to cheer, "Go, Blake, Go!"
Well, I've learned that Blake is the not the type of kid who likes to be cheered for.....he would much rather be left alone...which is what we ended up doing...... and no lie, within seconds he had that pickle juice all gone and $16 coming his way!!
TOYSRUS here we come!!!!
