Jackass

I think you all have probably heard of the show “Jackass”, where guys do stupid things to each other and themselves.  Well, I think that it’s in boys genes!  We have 2 boys ages 8 & 10 and they think up the weirdest, stupidest things to do to each other!  Here are some of their games of fun:

1. Spin around in a circle for a minute and then STOP and run at eachother at full speed-this causes them to usually fall face first on the ground, completely unable to catch themselves.  My husband and I enjoyed this show for about a half an hour one day.

2. One boy swings on a swing while the other one hucks a ball at them, usually making the swinger kick the ball high in the air, sometimes the swinger gets the ball in the face.

3. Trying to ride a skateboard/sled or other item down the swing set slide while standing up without falling down.  This is usually good for stitches, broken bones or concussions.

4. Hold your brother under water until he can’t breath, and then hold him a little while longer.  (Elle had this done to her many times by our older brother, do you see a pattern here?)

5. One boy sits on the top of the slide while the other one throws wooden blocks at him.  I don’t really get the premise of this one.

6. “Tackle _______” You can put football, baseball, soccer, basketball, or any type sport in the blank space, (for example Tackle Frisbee) as long as tackling is involved.

7. Hit your brother with a bat.  That’s basically it, the name says it all, we don’t allow them to use the aluminum bat, only the wiffle ball bat for this game.

8. Rake the leaves and then stuff them down the back of your brother’s pants.  (this occurred for the first time while I was typing this blog!)

9. After your brother eats/drinks something say something funny so that it sprays from their nose, or they choke! (again, our older brother did this one to me on numerous occasions)

10. Similar to #8, but a lot more uncomfortable, is play in the sandbox and dump sand all over your brother, starting at the head, and getting plenty in his pants too.

11.  Hit your brother in the peanuts when he is wearing a cup.  Also, quite new now that our youngest plays football and has to wear one.  This entails kicking, hitting and throwing things at him.  (I’ve seen this one on the actual Jackass show)

I’m sure they’ll think up more, they always do.  You would think we didn’t have toys or video games!  I guess it’s good, it means they have a very active, perculiar imagination……and I wouldn’t have it any other way!~Stacy
