At least that’s what Jamie and Adam tell us everytime we sit down to watch one of our favorite family shows, MythBusters.\u00c2\u00a0 In case you’re not familiar, the show attempts to re-create common myths and folklore, judging them as confirmed, plausible, or busted!\u00c2\u00a0 It’s educational, and they seem to spend a lot of their time blowing things up…how can you go wrong?\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

The myth that intrigued us this time was whether or not using profanity makes you more tolerant to pain.\u00c2\u00a0 They put their arms into bowls of ice water (that was the pain part!), and then timed how long they could keep their arms in without using swear words and then while using swear words.\u00c2\u00a0 We decided to re-create part of the test.\u00c2\u00a0 NO, not the swearing part!\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

The kids were interested to see if they could keep their arms in ice water for the 3 minutes max that the mythbusters did.\u00c2\u00a0 Of course, Randy jumped in on this, too.\u00c2\u00a0 I wasn’t feeling too well that night, so I passed.\u00c2\u00a0 Plus, I hate being cold.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

Randy went first, and lasted the 3 minutes.\u00c2\u00a0 He said it was most definitely painful up to about 2 minutes, and then the pain leveled off some.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Abbey timing him on her phone.\u00c2\u00a0 Lainey wondering why we’ve all lost our minds.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Pain rising, must remain calm…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Payton was next, and was a little blown away by how cold it was!\u00c2\u00a0 He squirmed and wiggled and exclaimed the whole time.\u00c2\u00a0 His first try was 48 seconds.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Lainey had to play, too.\u00c2\u00a0 She lasted 22 seconds!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Marley’s time was 29 seconds.\u00c2\u00a0 No wonder she’s usually the first out of the pool.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ethan totally put on his game face and lasted the whole\u00c2\u00a03 minutes.\u00c2\u00a0 Have we ever mentioned he was competitive?\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Same with Abbey, 3 minutes.\u00c2\u00a0 Not sure if she’s competitive as much as she is stubborn…she wasn’t going\u00c2\u00a0to let her dad out-do her in something!\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

On a second go-round, Payton got serious and lasted all 3 minutes.\u00c2\u00a0 Marley tried again too, but only made it 51 seconds.\u00c2\u00a0 The girl doesn’t like being cold!\u00c2\u00a0 (like her mama)\u00c2\u00a0 Lainey also went again, and went 39 seconds.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

It was a fun experiment (to watch!), and surprising how their personalities came out in their results.\u00c2\u00a0 And, we promise…no swearing took place!\u00c2\u00a0 :)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
