Everyone knows that when you get really cold, you start to lose feeling in different parts of your body. First your fingers and toes get numb. Your ears and nose get cold too if they’re not covered. But your butt? That’s a pretty big part of your body. You have to be really cold for your butt to get numb. That’s why any time you’re really cold, you can say, “I’m freezing my butt off!”
But, let’s see…what could actually make you so cold you can’t feel your butt? What could cause you to really freeze your butt off? How about jumping into a freezing cold river in the winter?
Well, that’s what Jason did just to demonstrate the meaning of freeze your butt off, and to raise money for the Special Olympics. And he wasn’t alone. Hundreds of other people froze their butts off with him, raising thousands of dollars for the charity and creating our first edition of Extreme English, baby!
