Triple-Dog Dare You!!

I can't hear the word "dare" without automatically thinking about the movie The Christmas Story and the triple-dog dare which leads to Flick's tongue getting stuck to the flagpole.  Oh how I laugh at his painful cries of "thuck, thUCK, THUCK!"  And Ralphie's dilemma of whether or not to stay out or go inside when the school bell rings.

Watching The Christmas Story has become a tradition in my family (like many), and it doesn't matter how many times I see it...I still laugh out loud!  I sure am looking forward to the slow days of winter break to start...with no papers to grade, research to do or papers to write...to be able to lounge around the house and watch a few of the family favorites.

"Only one thing in the world could've dragged me away from the soft glow of electric sex gleaming in the window." One of the best-written movies ever!
