What’s that splotch on your forehead?
I won. That’s what matters.
You won? What?
Cash money!
NO! How? What did you do?
So Jimmy and me was in the park by the river.
Were.
Were what?
You and Jimmy WERE in the park.
I know. I just said.
Forget it. Go on.
Well… there’s this tree.
Yes?
And it’s got these knobs and a big bendy branch.
And?
Jimmy dared me to climb to the top and shimmy down the bendy part. Bet me ten bucks.
You didn’t.
Did. Head first. WINNER!
Except for your head.
Totally worth it!

Oh, no, your story reminded me of my brothers. One ended up with a broken arm falling out of a tree during a dare. I was going to say, “Boys!” but I did my fair share of dares. I loved the dialogue!
