The Getting to Know You Game

Rules are plain and simple.... Just ask a question and the next person will answer it.. then ask a new question for the next person to answer. Be sure to "bold" your new question... so it doesn't get confused in w/ your answers.

Let's get to know more about each other.. and have a little fun while doing it!

I'll start with a question that was asked in another thread by mistake.. (hee-hee.. you know who you are -- pink princess!! LOL Just teasing ya!)

Here we go:

What did you want to be when you grew up?

There are LOTS of things that I think I'd like to be... but sticking more specificially to this question: Growing up, I had always wanted to be a teacher... once I hit high school.. I wanted to be a Psychologist... or somewhere in the psych field.

I think I'd still like to teach tho -- but only to the small wee ones.. LOL

At the present time, I am neither of those things professionally... but am quite happy with the 'job' I currently have -- MOMMY! :-4

(if ya think about it.. I AM a teacher - to my chidlren.. as well as a Psychologist.. to them and my hubby!!! he-hee So I guess I am doing the things I've always wanted to do -- just without the salary!! :wah: LOL)

[QUOTE=

Tell one favorite childhood memory.

I loved spending the night with my grandma. I didn't have the rules like I did at home and she always gave me lots of attention. She let me stay up as late as I wanted and would even get up and fix me midnight snacks if I wanted them. So my one fav childhood memory would be all the nights I stayed at my grandmothers.

My husband. He's not afraid of anything and has the 'go get em" personality like no one I've ever known. He succeeds in just about everything he's ever went after, including me.

do you believe children keep you young

Jives · Post by **Jives** » Mon Apr 18, 2005 8:39 am

ice maiden wrote: do you believe children keep you young

You'd better believe it! They make you listen to music you'd never try by yourself, and just watching them play makes you want to ride a bike, go swimming, or enjoy a movie. Kids are full of life and it rubs off on anyone in their presence. (That's one of the big reasons I'm a teacher!)

If your parents were dangling from a cliff, and you were holding them both with one arm each, and could only pull one up, leaving the other to drop to their death....which one would you pull up?

Lordy, this is an intense question as opposed to the light hearted ones on here. I'd tell mom to let go, but grab Dad's foot, then pull Dad up. Will this do?

Your child needs a transplant and only mom or dad can be the donor. Who would you pick?

lol. Yeah, we have this thread on my forum and we play hard ball on it!

And...no...it won't do cheater. You can't save them both. But I'll let you off the hook.

Mom. Dad has too many medical problems, and mom's healthier. Dad's a smoker.(Theoretically, but of course they're both dead in reality.)

You win a large chunk of money, and it'sjust enough to pay your bills and get you out of debt...but your family will hate you if you don't share it with them, what do you do?

At my age, I have lived a pretty full life, done lots of things, been lots of places, met lots of neat people. Even though I have future plans I would spend the 30 days making sure my affairs are in order for my survivors.

What one single thing would make you happy?
