orchestrate it and where I would get the ice.<\/p>\n<p>I decided to do it on the farm (notice the cows behind me) and to have my kids help me.\u00a0 When I first told them that I needed their help, they moaned in exasperation at having to \u201chelp dad again\u201d.\u00a0 When I told them, they would be pouring ice cold water on me while filming it, they jumped up and down screaming with excitement.<\/p>\n<p>I gave them instructions ahead of time on what to do.\u00a0 Apparently I wasn\u2019t clear enough.\u00a0 You\u2019ll notice that my daughter poured the water on me very gradually.\u00a0 I was hoping for an instantaneous drenching but instead I got a slow motion frostbite.\u00a0 It seemed like it lasted 10 minutes <a
