Bangarang

I love my Student Community Group. Each Wednesday night 14 to 18 high school guys cram into my town home to talk about God, hang out, eat snacks, and drink Bangarang Kool-Aid. Let me just tell you that having that many high school guys in your house means you are going to have a lot of food and beverage devoured. At one point some of the guys were going through 2 or 3 cans of soda. Thus the invention of Bangarang Kool-Aid.

Kool-Aid is a lot cheaper than cans of soda. One week my wife bought my favorite flavor of Kool-Aid with the thought of trying to see if my boys would drink it. When the boys arrived to group I started trying to get them to drink the Kool-Aid. Now I know how sketchy that sounds. Especially at a church event. So in order to not call it Kool-Aid, and in an attempt to make it an experience I called it Bangarang. You know...from the movie Hook. In the movie whenever they do something great they yell, BANGARANG at the top of their longs.

I told the guys that it was called Bangarang because when they drink it, it will be so good, they will automatically say Bangarang. For some reason it worked. My guys have no idea what flavor Bangarang really is. Some probably think that is its actual name. Now for some of you moms worrying about the sugar intake...please don't worry. I also have H20 for them to drink. I call that Jesus Juice. Just joking...I don't have a name for the water.
