My daughter used to love a challenge – especially when I’m the one being challenged.
One Sunday, the church we attend began with a series of trivia questions such as:
When do you peak in your ability to learn new languages? …Answer is 7 yrs
When do you peak in your chances of making a Nobel Prize winning discovery? …Answer is 40 yrs
When do you peak in your ability to remember faces? …Answer is 32 yrs
When do you peak in your ability to remember names? …Answer is 22 yrs
When do you peak in your ability to understand other people’s emotions? …Answer is 51 yrs
When do you peak in your vocabulary? …Answer is 71 yrs
…and so on…
Of course, as soon as the questions were out there, my daughter and I found ourselves pushing our gray matter into overdrive trying to guess an answer as close to the correct one as possible.
After nailing the first three questions, my head began to swell just a bit. It’s not often I win challenges with my daughter. But, by the 6th question, my daughter made sure to deflate my swelled head! Of course, she ended up almost correctly guessing most of the rest.
Reveling from her win, when we got home, she issued another challenge.
Knowing that I tend to be a slow eater, she challenged me to see who could polish off three of these Teriyaki Chickpea Beet Burgers the fastest.
Which isn’t quite a fair challenge, I know – but seeing she was heading off to college soon, I figured I’d entertain her.
I had already prepared these burgers the night before and was planning on throwing them on the grill. But, an afternoon thunderstorm made sure I cooked these on my stove top instead.
And, as soon as I had placed these on a bed of shredded lettuce with some sliced avocados on the side and whipped up a dipping sauce with Soy Sauce, chili flakes, and lime juice, the challenge was on!
