they just want to be challenged

THEY JUST WANT TO BE CHALLENGED

back in the day it was
i dare you
things like
eat a bug
eat a real hot pepper
eat dirt
pick up a snake
tump over an outhouse

now it seems that the teenagers and kids
well their dares and challenges have to
go further
they want to show it on facebook or youtube or other sites
to get likes and recognition

i guess the most recent challenge
was the tide pod challenge

in this challenge
the teen swallows one of those tide pods
i can only imagine the burn it must give
their tummies
and
what a surprise it must be the following day

now
my wife has been retired since june
so shes not around the teenagers anymore
to keep her uptodate on all the teenage
shenanigans

now she had heard about the tide pod thing
we have something like that we use for our dishwater
that we keep up on a locked shelf about 7 ft high
so our granddaughter wont get tempted to eat one
of them
they look like a nice piece of candy you might
get in a wrapper at a restaurant as you are leaving

so yesterday she asked me about my blog
whats that thing about the kids sticking a condom
up their nose

you havent heard about that yet
the snorting condom challenge
well i told her i keep up with all the important news
from my various news feeds
if it happens i know about it

so for those who dont know how it works
the snort a condom challenge
the kids unwrap a condom
pinch one nostil
insert the end of the condom into their other nostril
close their mouth
then
inhale and inhale
until the condom slides down the back of their throat
they reach in and grab it and pull it through

the risk is choking on the condom

so far there has been no reports of this happening

however
before this became a fad
well use your imagination
there was
a case of condom pneumonia
and
a case of condom appendicitis
