As Ava says, we're babysittin' grandpa today! Since dad's not a Facebook nerd (like SOME of us!) I decided to pull one of these silly questionnaires that's going around and play 20 Qs with dad, and post it here. Mind you, the first response to pretty much every question was, "What?" I guess the one hearing aid wasn't enough today.Enjoy!
WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?
I think I was named after Lowell Rug, a guy in our town that dad knew.
DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING? No, it’s terrible!
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT?
It’s turkey and black forest ham.
DO YOU HAVE KIDS?
Ha ha. They’re not kids anymore! I don’t think anyway… I’ve got kids that have kids.
IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON, WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU? Probably. Isn’t that just asking if you like yourself?
DO YOU USE SARCASM?
Yes.
DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS?
No.
WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP?
Probably.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CEREAL?
Probably sugar frosted flakes, but I probably shouldn’t eat them. Are you sending this into eHarmony, or what?
DO YOU UNTIE YOUR SHOES WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OFF?
I’ve taken them off without untying them before when I wanted to get to bed fast!
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ICE CREAM?
Licorice. (Darcy: are you joking, or are you serious? Licorice really?) They make it! I always look to see if they’ve got it when we get ice cream.
WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT PEOPLE?
Probably their wit and their intelligence. (Darcy: And that’s why dad’s so nuts about me!!!)
WHAT IS YOUR LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT YOURSELF?
I wish I were bigger. (Darcy: Like taller?) Taller and heavier.
WHO DO YOU MISS THE MOST?
Probably “Bugs” Tour. He was a friend of my dad’s that came up every fall and went bird huntin’. And he always brought us kids something, a present of some kind. And he gave me enough money to buy a BB gun with a scope on it. He owned a tugboat for bringin’ logs into the mill into the valley. He owned a float plane. And he owned a Berreta shotgun.
WHAT COLOR PANTS AND SHOES ARE YOU WEARING?
Blue and red. A red and blue combination.
WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO RIGHT NOW?
You.
IF YOU WERE A CRAYON, WHAT COLOR WOULD YOU BE?
I’d be probably blue. The same color as my eyes.
FAVORITE SMELLS?
My nose doesn’t work anymore, so probably (well, I can’t use that one…), um, what, lobster and butter.
WHO WAS THE LAST PERSON YOU TALKED TO ON THE PHONE?
You.
FAVORITE SPORTS TO WATCH?
I guess college football.
HAIR COLOR?
Ahhhh, gray-brown.
EYE COLOR?
Blue. I’ve been told anyway.
DO YOU WEAR CONTACTS?
No, I did once but it was too much of a hassle.
FAVORITE FOOD?
Lobster and butter.
SCARY MOVIES OR HAPPY ENDINGS?
Neither. I like classic movies.
LAST MOVIE YOU WATCHED?
A terrible one. Fell asleep in it. Paul Blart Mall Cop. It was terrible.
WHAT COLOR SHIRT ARE YOU WEARING?
Quilted cotton blue and red flannel.
SUMMER OR WINTER?
Doesn’t ask about spring or fall? I like spring because it’s planting season and fall because it’s hunting season.
HUGS OR KISSES?
Both.
WHAT BOOK ARE YOU READING NOW?
Darwin.
WHAT DID YOU WATCH ON TV LAST NIGHT?
I was watching your Ghost Whisperer thing. (Darcy: Shhh! Dad! I don’t want everyone knowing about my nerdy, unnatural obsession with the Ghost Whisperer!)
FAVORITE SOUNDS?
My favorite sounds are “You don’t have to have chemotherapy anymore.” Said by a neurology doctor.
ROLLING STONES OR BEATLES?
I would say the Beatles. One thing I like about the Rolling Stones is that they’re still around, they’re still a group – I think anyway!
WHAT IS THE FARTHEST YOU HAVE BEEN FROM HOME?
Half way around the world. (Korea)
DO YOU HAVE A SPECIAL TALENT?
Can’t play any musical instruments…. Raising roses.
