So I double dog dared my husband yesterday....but the opportunity never presented itself for him to follow through....it's really too bad.

As you may have noticed, we watch a lot of TV & Movies....so a lot of one liners around this house are from that venue.

There's a machine where Brett works called the Rundown.  I of course think of the movie of the same name every time he brings it up.  Most famously between us, is every time someone says or sees a monkey, we refer back to this movie.  There's two scenes where The Rock and Sean Williams Scott get plagued by monkeys.  On the second encounter they had just eaten a fruit that paralyzes them.  So as they lay on the floor of the jungle in this conscience but paralyzed state they hear the scream of the approaching monkeys....so they of course yell out MONKEY....but they can't move...not even their mouths, so it comes out very funny....almost young Frankenstein monster-ie.

So I told Brett last night when he told me he may be on the Rundown, that I would give him ten bucks if he stood up the very moment the machine was assigned to him and called out Monkey in a paralyzed jaw and tongue way.  The thought of this image brought us both to tears.  After he collected himself he pointed out that my money is already his money, so he already has my ten dollars.  SOooo, instead I double dog dared him to do it.  Now if he has any self respect he knows that he now has to do it (if you're eight years old that is)  He lucked out however when the machine was not brought up to him.

Just picture it though!  My husband sitting in the 'Canteen' waiting with his fellow co-workers for direction.  Upon hearing "Brett, you're on the Rundown," he stands up....all six foot four of him and yells out as stupidly as he possibly can...MONKEY!!!!


OMG.
