Would You Rather...
I play a game with teenagers called "Would You Rather". I give them 2 choices and they have to decide which they would rather do and then justify their decision. Some are simple, like would you rather drink Coke or Pepsi? Eat liver or Spam? Ride a mechanical bull or a looping roller coaster? Others are slightly more thought provoking, like would you rather win $50,000 or earn $1,000,000? Be lied to or gossiped about? Forgive or be forgiven?
Last night, however, I asked the group to make up some of their own that we would discuss with everyone. Here is a very small sampling.

Would you rather...
- Swim in Jello or pudding?
- Be eaten by a chipmunk or an eagle?
- Be shot in the head or the tummy?
- Pee your pants in public or poop 'em in private?
- Hang out with Kayla or hang out with Kayla? (there is currently only 1 Kayla in our group, and that was her contribution - I chose the first one)
I learned two things last night. Never underestimate the creativeness of teenagers when they are released to think freely. And never forget to write down the things they say because there was something Russel said that was priceless, and if I try to remember it I'll just wreck it (something to do with a knight's gauntlet and gummy bears.... I dunno, but it was funny!).
Would you rather read my blog or actually do something productive with your time??? Ahh, I see you have chosen well, grasshopper....
