It’s a testament to how much I love my nieces and nephews that when my niece Gina nominated me to take the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, I succumbed. Anyone else and I’d have pretended I never saw it. And y’all aren’t going to see anything either–there’s a reason my Facebook is locked and has such a small friends (mostly family) list, just for moments like these!
Seriously, I didn’t mind doing it and don’t mind contributing to a good cause. I think it’s wonderful the way this campaign went viral and helped an underfunded organization. And though you may think I cheated–because I used a gallon pitcher and not a bucket, ALL the water hit me. And a gallon of ice water and ice cubes is damn cold. Besides, look how many Edwards would fit in that pitcher!
Besides, pouring ice water on your head is not recommended for people over age 34. You could get acute brain freeze.
I think I’m okay–no harm done!
