Because Dr. Dobson won't be using these clips in his next parenting DVD series, I thought I'd give Glory Laine readers a glimps at just how sucky Matt and I can be as parents.

About Me
- Glory Laine
- North West, United States
- I've often been asked why my blog is named, "Glory Laine". My middle name is Laine and it suggests to me quant path, and paths remind me of a journey and I blog to record my personal journey. Then I wanted something spiritual to show that I am on this journey with God's help. I debated between mercy and glory. Mercy lane sounded like a nursing home where people go to die, so Glory Laine it is.

Holy moly. That's some serious pizza eating.
On a much smaller (and less expensive) scale: I bribed the girls with a piece of licorice if they would touch a frog today. They did it, very grudgingly. I wonder if I could have got Sydney to kiss the frog for $100?...I just asked her, and she said, "More than $100." Yikes.
Do you think Matt would give me a hundred bucks if I ate a whole pizza? Cause I could really use a hundred bucks... and I wouldn't mind eating a whole pizza either.
This was awesome. Jill
This is awesome! hee hee.
O Becca.
I had to laugh at you and Matt. When AJ was about Tobin's age he told Al that there was a guy who could burp the entire alphabet. Silly silly Al didn't believe it so they bet $100. Several weeks later Al saw a guy on the tonight show burp from A to Z. AJ was asleep so...how would he know. But both Al and I thought that modeling honesty and integrity was worth the 100 bucks. I'm proud of you guys. You never know how that will impact Tobin down the road. Way to go!
Becca...that is hysterical! Thanks for sharing that and the video is priceless!
Becca, Me and Jaimie will eat a whole pizza for $100! As Crystal said, Dale once offered Dustin $75 if he would eat a wood grub we found in the wood pile. Of course Dustin was up for making some big bucks, so he boiled the worm, thinking that would make it more palatable, but it expanded to about 5 times the original size, and Dustin ate it anyway. The outside was crusty and the inside was like a hostess twinkie he said, gooey and creamy. Now that was good parenting! (not)
I'd say you guys got schooled!

Oh my gosh!! To funny, I kept thinking "umm, he could eat a bit more off the crust" ;) You guys rock, Dobson would so use this- as sticking to your word and not backing out, like the rest of us would!!!
Sorry to everyone who hopes that we will make this deal to anyone willing to eat an entire pizza. I KNOW it was a bad deal to start with. Given Tobin's food patterns I think Matt felt it was safe but boy did Tobin call his bluff. Still . . . I wish I could have that money back, really could have used it in more practical ways. I have to keep reminding myself that perhaps we modeled to him the importance of keeping your word. But still . . . I wish I had a time machine.
This had me actually laughing out load. Too too funny.
