100

 We don't typically do much betting around our house, but Floyd and Cole made a big one about a year ago.  We were in Florida with my family when the dads bet the kids that if they didn't drink soda for a year, they would get $100.  I guess it wasn't a true bet in that there was no promise of the children paying up if they did drink.  Two of the kids, Cole and Josh, took the dads up on the bet.  Annie never even wanted to try (she couldn't care less about money).  Landon, my nephew, tried and made it about two days.  The bet started on Ben's birthday, so these two have been anxiously anticipating his birthday all year.  Cole was very diligent about not drinking soda and frequently refused it at birthday parties or school events.  His whole class knew about the bet and stopped offering soda to him.  

So here's Cole with his $100...

(too bad I covered it up, but he was smiling pretty big)

...and here he is toasting Josh with their first drink of soda in a year. 

I let Cole pick out whatever soda he wanted for the party.  We ended up with six different kinds - grape, orange, cherry 7up, 7up, root beer, and cream soda.  By yesterday (one day after the party), he already was sick of it and just wanted water.
