    My son was introduced to fresh ginger tonight

    So my ten yr old detests anything spicy. Wife makes a beef roast that is scored on top and has fairly large slices of ginger stuck in for the flavor, a little jus on top from the leftover bits and beef broth and yum. Anyway, not the point.

    so, said 10 yr old loves meat, gets anxious to eat and goes hand to mouth with a big chunk in all his youthful exuberance...obviously not noticing the slice of ginger that is just about the size of your average stick of big red gum.

    between the delayed reaction and the shock and antics that ensued, i'm not sure what part was funniest. granted fresh ginger ain't the spiciest thing out there, but it packs a more-than-meager kick in that quantity and for someone whose palate is as untainted by strong flavors as my son's.

    i highly recommend trying this on your kids. next time i'm going for wasabi.

    It's also fun to put a drop of lemon juice on the tongue of a 3 month old baby and see the reaction.

      This explains so much.

            Ok, sadism.

            I prefer the term "toughening up".

              If your aim is toughening up, then let the boys play a real sport like football. None of this sissy prancing between bases wearing knickers and garters.

                Perhaps that's how they do it Carbon County. I teach my kids how to run hard; wear metal cleats and use them to avoid the tag; when applying the tag, the runner's face is the most effective in sending a message about trying to get that extra base; the plate is as much the pitcher's as it is the batter's, etc.

                My boys love football. And I love that they play it, as I'm only an assistant coach and don't have to deal with the parents.

                  lol! your kids love football yet you are giving them all these tips about baseball!

                  they are going to be really embarrassed and confused when their first football game rolls around and they try to to implement all your baseball advice.

                    Not at all. How will an opposing player react when he tries to make a tackle and one of my kids slashes his ankle with the metal cleats? I'm guessing he'll think twice about wanting to stop the runner.

                    But you do realize that YOhio as talking about what he thinks is baseball, right? I was just pointing out his erroneous thoughts.
