"chubby bunny"

Once a year, we like to purposefully humiliate ourselves in front of our family members: for the "Chubby Buny" Contest with the Perkins Family at Easter.

 

These are the rules: put a marshmallow in your mouth, and say "Chubby Bunny". Everyone who enters the contest has to do it over and over and over, while keeping all the marshmallows in--and no chewing or swallowing is allowed. The last one still standing and repeating the words without the marshmallows coming out wins the cash prize.

 

There's a kid's contest, and an adult contest. Ammon has always won the kids' contest, but this year, he entered the adult contest. So the 3 younger boys vied for the title...

Then it got narrowed down to just these 2--and Micah ended up winning! He was super excited!

 

Then it was the adult round. The first year we did it, Josh won. The second year, Cody won. Last year we didn't do it because we were having our Perkins Reunion, and we had to clean up the rental home after Easter dinner, so we didn't have time to play it. This year, the contestants were Josh, me, Ammon, Tawna, Tabbi, Trina, cousin Liz, and Trina's college roommate.

 

 

 

 

Tawna has a really high gag reflex, and she couldn't make it. She was the first one out. Then we all started laughing, but trying to keep all the stuffed marshmallows in our mouth while laughing didn't work too well in our favor. Trina's roommate won the competition...because we all ended up spitting out our foaming remains (some more gracefully than others).

I made it to 9 marshmallows before I couldn't contain it any longer...

Tabbi's gonna kill me for posting this photo, but my dad and I were laughing so hard at her when she was trying NOT to laugh and say "chubby bunny" with an overstuffed mouthful of marshmallows all at the same time--the marshmallows ended up all coming out of her mouth and she lost, very grossfully!

Good times, good times! We had some big laughs at the expense of others! But it's all in fun, and we had a great Easter weekend! The chubby bunny was the last thing we did at my parents' house before loading up the car to come back home to Salmon. Spring Break was truly 10 days of happiness for me, and I was glad to finish off the week spending time with family!
