Linus, and Lucy sit on the floor. Lucy asks, "Ready?" as Snoopy walks up.<br> <br> "Ready!" Linus replies. Snoopy sits between them and stares at Lucy.<br> <br> Lucy commands, "..Take a deep breath...Now hold it!" They both hold their breath. Snoopy turns to look at Linus.<br> <br> He loooks at Lucy. Lucy and Linus sweat from the exertion.<br> <br> Their eyes begin to boggle. Snoopy turns to look at Linus again.<br> <br> WOOOSH! Linus releases a stream of air, blowing Snoopy's ear over his head.<br> <br> WOOSH!! Lucy exhales, blowing air at Snoopy's other ear. His ear flips over to the other side of his head.<br> <br> Lucy and Linus lie flat on their backs. Snoopy sits between them, with his ears coiled around his face.<br> <br>
1 of my younger sisters decided to see how long she could hold her breath when she was bored at church 1 Sunday, the ensuing panic from my mom and the rest of us kids certainly livened the place up after she fell out of her chair passed out and appearing to suffer from a seizure with her kicking leg flinging 1 of her shoes clear across the aisle!
She got into plenty of trouble for doing it especially since my mother rushed her to the hospital thinking there was something terribly wrong and she didn’t admit for hours that she’d been holding her breath as long as she could!
