Bigger and Better

Ethan, Dalton, and Cousin Carter played a game called "Bigger and Better" today. It's pretty simple: you start out with something small and go house to house asking if they want to trade for something "bigger and better."



Here's how it went:
They started with a Sharpie,
traded for a golf ball,
traded for spaghetti and sauce,
traded for a 12-pack of Mountain Dew (they drank one each and then traded the remaining 9),
traded for a model ship,
traded for a 10-plug power strip,
traded for a shovel,
traded for a midevil weapon (?!?)
traded for a backpack, alarm clock, and baseball bat,
and ended up a with a Honda lawnmower, which the owner says works.


They were planning to sell the lawnmower and split the profit, but they already took off to find something "bigger and better." They said they're hoping for a go-cart.

  1. That's awesome! What great, cooperative neighbors, too! At first I thought Ethan was jumping, he's so tall. But he's not - he's just tall! :)

  2. Oh, my! How tall is Ethan now? And did they end up with a go-cart? :)
