Would you ever?

I really love these things.  I get a kick out of thinking about the answers and various scenarios in my head - some are just so weird.  But here is a fun questionnaire to do if you’re bored.  I was thinking about how I would have answered them five or ten years ago compared to my answers now!  That’s just a whole new quiz I think…

Would you ever consider getting plastic surgery?

No, not right now.  If there was a way to do it sans knives and needles and putting you out, maybe.  

Would you ever donate a kidney or another vital organ?

Absolutely, especially to someone close to me - no hesitation.

Would you ever marry someone your parents didn't approve of?

Hmmmm.  Good question.  My parents have always had a huge influence on my decisions so I hate to say it but I probably wouldn’t…unless I really REALLY loved him and couldn’t be without him.  Thank goodness Nate is loved by my famjam.  

Would you ever drive a car if you had forgotten your license at home?

Unfortunately, yes and I have.

Would you ever drive at night with only one headlight?

Unfortuantely, yes and I have. 

Would you ever drive your car with a flat tire?

See above answers.  Short response: yes… and I have…unfortunately.

Would you ever consider going bungee jumping?

No, really not my thing.

Would you ever consider going skydiving?

Maybe.  Nate’s been twice (psycho) and has nothing but good things to say about it.  Maybe if I was with him.

Would you ever eat rice with sugar?

  No thanks.  Actually, isn’t that just rice pudding?  In which case, hells yah!

Would you ever get hair implants?

Yes, and/or extensions.  But I hear they’re kinda expensive and you can’t really ‘put up’ your hair which would be a problem for me, so I guess mayyyybe.

Would you ever give money to a panhandler?

I have, but I always wonder what they’ll actually end up buying with it.  Did I just enable them to continue a bad habit or addiction?  I would rather buy them a sandwich and a drink, but one homeless guy said ‘I don’t want your food!’  He seemed really insulted so I never offered again. 

Would you ever go skinny dipping? 

Already done it…more than once.  I was perkier…

Would you ever lie to your children?

ABSOTOOTINLOOTLY!  Hello?  That’s a major no brainer.  I think I already lie on a regular basis to her.  “Let’s go put on your socks and shoes Scarlet, it’s going to be SOOOO FUNNNN!!!”

Tooth fairy? 

Easter bunny?

Heck Leprechauns?  

All magical and great parenting persuasion tools.

I wouldn’t ever have to lie about Santa cause he’s real and if you don’t believe that I feel awful and will immediately start to pray for you. 

To your husband/wife? 

No way.

Would you ever lie to help a friend?

Yes.  YES times infinity.

Would you ever paint your living room black?

Maybe.  In the future.  If it was super chic.

Would you ever pick up a hitchhiker?

No way.

Would you ever slap someone for something they said?

Hmmmm.  I know I would WANT to but I don’t think I would actually do it.

Would you ever spank your child?

Uhhhhhhhh, hard one.  I would, but I don’t say this lightly because spanking is currently very frowned upon and for good reason.  But the ‘spank’ in my opinion is more of an embarrassment for the child rather than a physically painful experience.  Having had my bare bum flying in the wind while laying across my Dad’s knee was not a childhood highlight - it was mortifying!  It would have to be really huge for my kids to warrant the spank and it would be followed with a ton of love and hugs and kisses and communication at their eye level (like I would squat down and really make sure we were connecting eye to eye).  I spoke to my Mom about this and she said that really the only time you should ever 'spank' a child is if they have been told ‘no’, and then they become defiant by pushing boundaries (and your buttons) and/or their safety is compromised.  Talking (alone) doesn’t always get through with a toddler and they MUST learn the lesson.  Otherwise, I’m 95% of the time in favour of time outs, communication, FOB (flat on bed) in your room etc.  Spanking would be a very last resort and I really hope it doesn’t come to it.  Now, I say all of this but when it actually comes down to DOING it... maybe a different story?  I really don't know till I'm in the position, but currently these are my thoughts. 

Would you ever steal from your family or friends?

No way!

Would you ever "take a bullet" for someone else?

Yes.  Happily.  I would much rather go.

Would you ever walk downtown without any shoes on your feet?

Nope.

Would you eat a live cricket for $500? If not, how much money would it take?

Oooooo, toughie.  I don’t know if I could do it.  Make it an even 1,000 and we’ve got a deal.

Would you ever eat human flesh?

NOOOOO!  Not if I had a choice.  I mean, if my plane crashes in the middle of the frozen arctic tundra then perhaps, but not by choice.

Would you divorce your husband/wife if your favourite celebrity wanted to marry you?

HAHA!  Nope.

Would you name your children after favourite characters in movies or books?

Yes, if they were traditional and edgy and strong all at the same time.

Would you ever say yes to someone even if you meant no?

Yes unfortunately.  I had a hard time saying no to extra work as a teacher and I still have a hard time saying no to extra anything even out of work.

Would you ever consider writing your own book?

I’d consider it…

Would you ever try staying in the jungle for a month?

Is a spa involved with a five star restaurant and outdoor yoga zone included?  Then, yes.  Yes I would.  Otherwise, no.

Would you ever consider being a surrogate mother yourself?

No, sorry.  Being pregnant is really really hard on me and my body.  I give it up to those that do it but personally, no way.

Would you ever consider egg or sperm donation?

Yes - we were strongly considering all options when we were unable to conceive for two years.  I thought whatever it takes, I’ll do it.  I’d help out others in that way too.

Would you ever pretend to be someone (like a policeman, or a teacher, or a survey taker) just to get something that you wanted?

No, probably not.  

Would you ever drink your own urine?

Oh gosh no.  

Would you ever cheat on your husband/wife?

Absolutely not.  Never have cheated and never plan to.

Would you ever adopt a child?

Yes.  Nate and I talk about this quite a bit.

Would you ever give your child up for adoption?

Never in a million years would I even consider it.  No way, no how, just no.

Would you ever eat rat meat?

Does sushi count?  If so, A HELLLLLLLLLLLLLS YAHHHHHHHH!!!  I also really like beef tartar so yes #teamrawmeat
