Aww, geez, enough already.

I looked at my brother's feed on facebook and my 6 year old niece was nominated by some other kid to do an ice bucket challenge for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. She named her nominations and she did NOT want that ice water on her. I think it is great to teach children about charity; when my son was young he helped pick out toys for Toys for Tots and canned food for food drives. I am not so sure my niece is going to walk away from her ice bucket challenge with a better understanding of charity especially if she doesn't use her own money (which she has because the tooth fairy gives her ten bucks per tooth).
