Another day...another football mouthpiece.

This time Younger Boy wanted to do this in a pot of boiling water.  Good choice.

A watched pot never boils.  That's all I could think about as he stood there literally watching the water.  Announcing the number of bubbles coming up.

He put it in the boiling water for 30 seconds.  So far so good.

He was supposed to dip it in cold water and then put it in his mouth.  He got distracted during the dipping and it was probably in there longer than in the boiling water. 

Then it went in his mouth.  To his surprise...it did not work.

Repeat process.

This time he thought he shouldn't dip it at all and just put the mouthpiece to his lips straight out of boiling water.  Immediately away from the mouth.  It didn't really matter that I was trying very hard to keep this from happening.

Repeat process.

We got it...FINALLY...after two full days.

Pray that everything associated with football doesn't go like this!!
