There are moments when suddenly a facet of someone's personality is revealed to you... a little puzzle piece falls into place and you think, "Ah-ha! I now know this about that person and will forever identify them with this characteristic."
Meet Sir Braden Mogler a.k.a. "Pepe"... and the incredible feat that has forever dubbed him a "Chubby Bunny" champion... ;)
After Jovenes Night last Friday, we were sitting around in the kitchen (notice that the kitchen seems to be where most of these ideas/situations arise... what is it about that place???) and were informed by Braden that he is a reigning champion of "Chubby Bunny" - a game that involves shoving as many marshmallows as possible into your mouth and saying, "Chubby Bunny" with as much clarity as you can muster... not necessarily an easy task and I personally was slightly skeptical. However, as Amy kept handing him marshmallows and we all kept watching, Pepe's cheeks just kept expanding... and expanding... and expanding...And a clearly enunciated "Chubby Bunny" was forthcoming every time...
Here the kids are watching as Pepe fits 15, 16, 17 marshmallows and just keeps going...
Almost at the end... and searching for the best place to quitar the marshmallows for easy counting purposes...
Thirty marshmallows, my friends... that's right... 30.
Unbelievable.
The kids, of course, decided that they would all like to try as well... from left to right, top to bottom, Francisco, Lili, Michelle, and Federico all try to stuff and mumble "Chubby Bunny." I think the most that any of them got in their mouth was six... slightly below the resident champion's record!
So... for those of you planning on making a trip to CVE any time soon, work up your "Chubby Bunny" skills... there has to be someone out there who can triumph over Pepe ... ;)

I'd like to point out that this is not a completely worthless talent. Jenna is buying me lunch, since she was convinced I couldn't fit more than 25.

I must say if I had a talent as such, I may be a "closet chubby-bunnier."
Judo skills AND chubby bunny skills... Pepe never ceases to amaze me! Way to go, trumpet cheeks!
(and hope he didn't forever damage your typing hand, Steph)
Hi Steph, good to hear from you, I was thinking about you as the one-year anniversary of our graduation passed.
Unfortunately I don't have a Slovak accent, which might be exotic or at least Slavic; it's more that I just don't speak English very well anymore. Overexposure to mistakes has worn out the grammar-flaw alarm bells in my head. Thus, after a year of teaching, I sound more uneducated than ever :)
But a Spanish accent, now that must be sexy.

I just want to know why the second pic is of "the kids watching" and I am in it. Couldn't you give me a little credit and say "the kids and Limón...and half of Amy?"
-Limón
Anonymous: I definitely think you should reveal yourself... why hide such a talent?
Jim: Other than a few, spasmodic twitches the typing is much better... thanks ;)
Aubrey: I'm sure the accent would be if I actually had developed one... as it is, Spanglish hasn't even a whiff of the exotic about it... lol
and Limon: I just call it like I see it... ;)
Sign me up for the next contest. I once did thirty nickel gumballs (they're 25 cents now) and managed to chew them. Oh wait. Am i really bragging about that???
Alright, if you can get here before August 15 we'll do it! Otherwise I assume you're coming again over Thanksgiving?
