They'd grown up climbing trees, shooting B-B guns with the boys in the neighborhood, and pillow fighting when they had sleep overs. "I double-dog dare you" could be heard on a daily basis when one challenged the other.

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
- Grab your current read
- Open to a random page
- Share two (2) "teaser" sentences from somewhere on that page
- BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn't give too much away -- you don't want to ruin the book for others)
- Share the title and author too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR lists if they like your teasers.
Aww! That reminds me of the good ol' days of childhood! Thanks for sharing and for stopping by my TT!

"I double dog dare you" will forever remind me of A Christmas Story. Thanks for the teaser! Looks cute.
ReplyDeleteAs you probably know, that story is from Jean Shepherd's book IN GOD WE TRUST, ALL OTHERS PAY CASH. It's hilarious. My favorite story is about fireworks.
DeleteSounds like a good read.
