Pickle Juice

So, I hear there's a tradition of sorts being passed down in the Genest family. How did I get myself caught up with these silly people?

Jim thinks that pickle juice has the ability to thin your blood, and if you're Lebanese, or even have an iota of Lebanese in you, you must thin your blood, as your father, and your father's father, and so on, have since the beginning of time.
Mmmmmm...that's good stuff. Straight up. And of course, our children strive to be proud of their heritage. So Lena dove in first.
Not too bad. Kinda refreshing.
Javen took a huge swig...
and passed it off immediately with no negative effects.Eli was not as willing to try it. I wonder, truly wonder, why they call it pickle juice.

Would you make this face if you were drinking juice?
I was dared. I denied the dare. I will do many things, but drinking "juice" from a pickle...no thanks.
