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!)

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.

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

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.

do you believe children keep you young

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?

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.)

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.
