I love this list! I too have never broken a bone other than fingers or toes. How strange is that? I must say I am extremely jealous of your lack of cavities, but am sad about your mustard allergy. There are some amazing mustards out there. The best flavors often have beer in them and should be consumed with German food.

PLEASE write a book, so I can read more of your work... you have such a great way of communicating through writing I can practically SEE your personality! Love the list!

I LOVE MUSTARD!! I am sorry that you are 'allergic' hehe...
