Rocky Mountain Oysters

We are taking a bus full of youth to Colorado for National Youth Conference.  This conference happens every 4 years.  We always plan a nice bus trip taking them to Mount Rushmore, the Badlands and we go to a ranch in Wyoming.  This is a real working ranch that lets the kids wrestle and brand cows, takes them on a hayride and shows them the old Indian rings.  This year we even found some arrowheads and beads.  They also like to cook up some Rocky Mountain Oysters for everyone to try.  The whole entire trip Brian was having little contests with the kids; he would give a dollar to whoever sang the loudest or a dollar to whoever could figure out the scripture his T-shirt was based on.  When we got to the ranch he said he would give a dollar to the person who ate the most Rocky Mountain Oysters.  Well, there were two girls Emily and Shalee who tried them.  They were all "These aren't that bad, I don't know what everyone is complaining about"  So Brian said, okay, you're tied, so whoever eats the most gets the dollar.  Well they got up to 6 and decided to quit because Brett, another youth, would always eat one more just to irritate them.  So, my son Noah, walks up to them and is like, "I can't believe that you ate so many of those things.  That's just wrong"  They were like, "Its no big deal."  Noah says, "You know what those are right"  They're all "yea, oysters."  Noahs like "uhhhhhh NO, those are cow testicles. You know when they were branding the cows and afterwards they castrated them, yea, you ate that."  Well you can just imagine their reaction.  They were mortified.  They were screaming, "Why didn't anyone tell us."  I was like, "Ummm, shouldn't a little warning bell have gone off in your head when NO ONE ELSE was eating them, and everyone was making a big deal about YOU eating them?"

Moral of the story, let someone else try the new food first and then find out what it is before YOU try it!!
