Strange questions to ponder...

ninakang

Being with my kids when they're off school is total joy most of the time, but don't kids ask you some funny questions? And always at the most inappropriate times! Here are some I've either thought of myself or plagiarised from my girls for us all to ponder. You can try answering them if you like

If I told you someone in this room is gay, who do you think it would be?
Have you ever been fired?
What is something you regret?
How often do you go over the speed limit?
Were you considered popular in school? Why or why not?
When, if ever, do you think it is okay to tell a lie?
How old are you in your dreams?
How would you describe Dad/Mum the first time you saw him/her?
Do you dance like crazy, when no one is looking?
Do you like to sing in the shower?
What do sing in the shower, if you do sing?
Do you like baths or showers?
What do you do when (you think) no one is looking?
If you were going to be stuck on a deserted island, which 5 books, movies, people and foods would you take along?
When you were younger, did you ever drink too much and get sick?
Did you ever run away from home? Why/ why not?
If you could be any male/female sports star, who would you be?
Why do women shave their armpits and men don't?
What did you get in trouble for, when you were a kid?
Did you ever have a teacher who picked on you?
What was the most embarrassing thing that ever happened to you?
What really gives you the creeps?
What were the three happiest moments in your life so far?
Did you have a nickname in school? What was it?
What did you think of me when you first met me?
Which was the moment when I impressed you most?
Which is your wish that is not yet fulfilled?
Why is it that your greatest hobby is to fight with me or scold me?
What was your favorite toy when you were little?
If you have to choose a movie title for your life story, what would that be?

skezier - that was courageous. Your answers have stunned me. Bloody hell girl, what have you lived through? You had a choice: be strong or give in and lose. I thank my lucky stars you chose the first option. Joining the forums was a leap of faith for me - yup, a small leap in the greater scheme of things, but a big leap for me. Your optimism and strength shone from the word go - oh skezier, words fail me, and that don't happen often. DD
