I TRIPLE-dog-dare ya!

My gracious husband dared me to eat a spoonful of ground cinnamon.I said okay.
At first he started back tracking and explaining it will really hurt my tongue. But I'm an easy target. I have a competitive spirit and I'm an easy person to dare.
In went the spoonful of cinnamon.
It instantly dried up my entire mouth and throat. Desert like, I'm telling you. I laughed, cinnamon flew out of my mouth, a puff of red smoke. I would not give up. Brian told me to spit it out. Oh no. I was not giving up on this dare. I get to pick anything I want off my amazon wish list if I swallow this spoonful of evilness.
I got up, still not able to breathe and poured a glass of water. There was no feasible way to swallow when I had no moisture at all in my mouth. I took a sip of water and swallowed the evilness.
Meanwhile Brian is laughing, Braeden is clueless as to what is happening and there is cinnamon residue all over the kitchen floor. But I swallowed it, yes I did, I followed through with the dare. No one said I couldn't take a sip of water. It had been 10 minutes and I have not thrown up. I get a wish list item!

I can't believe you did that! The funniest part was when you started talking and puffs of cinnamon came flying out of your mouth when you spoke!!
I have new-found admiration for you and you definitely deserve ANYTHING you want off your wishlist.
I love you! (Sorry I burned your mouth with cinnamon)
*still coughing*
Awwwww, you guys are too cute.
Nooooo! You did not! I can't believe you tried that!! I have heard tales and seen You Tube clips but never did I know anyone who has actually done it!! (I realize I don't REALLY know you, but in the blog world I do!)
That man better have followed through and gotten you what you wanted on that wish list!! :)
By the way, that is exactly the kind of stuff you will always remember about the first of your marriage. It's those moments that make the memory list for me, anyway...
