Each morning, my daughter and I have about 20 minutes of time to chat as I drive her to school. Our morning consists of some routines which I hope I will never forget:
We listen to music for part of the way and then we turn it down for one of 2 games:
1) Questions and Answers
2) A game called “Would you rather…”
The way we each play “Would you Rather?” has two distinct styles.
If the question comes from me, it is usually centered on life preferences like:
“Would you rather marry a really ugly guy who is SUPER funny, OR a really hot guy that is totally boring?”
Or, “Would you rather be poor and blissfully happy OR rich and bored to tears?”
Or, “Would you rather be pretty and dumb OR smart and average looking?”
Usually I am totally pleased with her answers:
1) Supper Funny, Ugly Guy
2) Blissfully Happy and Poor
3) Smart and average looking
(ahh…she is a chip off the old block)
My daughter’s questions however tend to either turn my stomach or force me to choose the “lesser of 2 evils”:
"Would you rather jump into a pit of slithering snakes or rats?"
"Would you rather eat cockroaches or a tarantula?"
Here is the best:
"Would you rather lick the back of an obese guy with a really hairy back and it has pimples all over it or would you rather lick a public telephone?"
You won’t believe my answer: I picked the licking of the guy.
There is something about public telephones that totally wig me out.
Imagine some drunken bums on the street with drooling, puke breath on those phones, calling their drug dealers to get a fix! Yuck.
