My SIL Aimee has had me giggling at her for two days over a youtube video she posted Sunday.?? Unfortunately, her site is private so only those with access saw her post.?? I requested permission to “reprint” on my public blog and she kindly gave me permission.<\/em><\/p>\n

I will preface this post by telling you that Aimee is a highly competitive woman and the easiest way to get her to do anything is by telling her she can’t. :)?? David learned that when she was about 15 years old and has used it in a plethora of ways since to get Aimee to do the craziest of things (like eating crawdad’s they caught in the river for example).?? I think he talked her in to swallowing a live goldfish once as well.?? :)?? LOL.?? Following is a copy of Aimee’s post. <\/em><\/p>\n

***************************<\/p>\n

Ever heard of it? I hadn’t. Not ’til last week anyways.<\/p>\n

Cinnamon Dragon<\/strong><\/em>
\n1 Tablespoon Cinnamon (dry)
\nA whole lot of stupidity
\nSwallow all in 1 minute or less
\nDo not breathe-in
\nTry not to die<\/p>\n

David and his crew at work attempted the “Cinnamon Dragon” recently while on shift. I heard stories about how supposedly horrible it was, but I thought to myself….cinnamon? Come on, it’s sweet, how could that possibly be hard? I mean seriously, it’s used for baking. So when some of our friends were over last Sunday, a few of us decided to try it. Brandley<\/span> went first and did it like a champ in under 50 seconds (that’s the record BTW in our circle of friends:) ). Again I thought to myself, ya, what’s the big deal? If he can do it, I can do it. Little did I know he was the minority in this case. More like 1 in a million. Maybe I should have watched a few more people. No not maybe, definitely.<\/p>\n

In case there’s even the slightest chance you’re thinking about trying this because you’re someone like me and you love a challenge, you might want to read on.<\/p>\n

Let me describe this event as it unfolded in my mind, in one word…….PANIC. Let me say it again in case you didn’t hear, PPPPPPPPAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNIIIIIIIIIIICCCCCCC<\/span>! Thoughts running through my head… I can’t breathe, but I have to, but I can’t, but I have to, help, help, I think I’m going to die. Stupid me. Why didn’t I pay more attention to the DRAGON part? Hmmm<\/span>, reminds me of Eve in the garden (Oooohh<\/span>, just thought of so many Biblical analogies \ud83d\ude42 ). Anyhow, I spent the rest of the night with my throat on fire. It literally felt like the lining was stripped. I ate like 5 popsicles in a matter of minutes, tried everything from lemon, salt and cough syrup to soothe my throat, drank tea like it was going out of style and even resolved to jumping in the bath-tub with my suit on just so I could continuously drink water from the faucet (a big thanks to Michelle & Jamie for keeping me company & for the musical numbers that kept my mind off my misery…that I must say was worth it all – hee<\/span>, hee<\/span>).<\/p>\n

And now to make matters worse, I just found out at the doctor today that my little cold from last Sunday has now turned into a full-blown (no pun intended;) ) sinus infection as a result of the inhaled cinnamon. So that’s why they call it the Cinnamon Dragon. Rrrrriiiiiiigggghhht<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Note from me again – I have watched this for the fourth time now and I laugh so hard I get tears everytime.?? Why oh why oh why oh why???
