Sword Swallowing...

A few weeks ago we checked a children's music CD out from the library. One of the kids favorite tracks is about a boy who decides to join the circus and becomes a ticket-taking, bearded, lion taming, sword swallowing, acrobatic, clown. Ever since the kids heard the song they have been very curios about exactly what a swords swallower is and does. Tonight, we finally got around to looking up a video of a sword swallower on YouTube. When the guy was about to swallow the biggest sword Lorien cringed and said: "Wouldn't that cut his uvula!?"

Will and I had a pretty good laugh. If you don't know your uvula is that little hangy-thing at the back of your throat.

I don't know how to upload a video from YouTube so if you want to see the video we watched search for: Blackthorne - Sword Swallower - Neon.
