Sunday Stealing

 

 NOTICE!!!!!  Bev's computer is dead and she has no way to create new Sunday Stealings.  Kwizgiver is guest hosting until she is back online.

Bev Sykes is normally the host of the blog "Funny the World.” (see above about Bev’s computer). Welcome to Sunday Stealing.  Here we will steal all types of questions from every corner of the blogosphere. Our promise to you is that we will work hard to find the most interesting and intelligent questions. Cheers to all of us thieves. 

 

1. If you were trapped in a room with the person who asked this for 24 hours, what would you do? The answer cannot be romantic or sexual. I’m assuming we are supposed to make up the question for “this” and then tell what we would do? If the person kept asking, “What time is it now?” I would probably yell at them after a while and tell them to stop. Mark’s mom’s memory is going (gone?) and she will continue to ask the same question over and over. I will say that it really gets on a person’s last nerve after a while. After 24 hours with her, my husband usually says he has been in the Twilight Zone.

2. If you could learn any language instantly, what would it be? My first answer is Spanish because I took quite a few classes in college and wish I could still speak it. I probably should answer with one of the REALLY hard languages because I imagine they would normally take much longer to learn.

3. If you could only read one book for the rest of your life, what would it be? I live in the Bible belt and I feel like this is one of those trick questions 😊. I will admit that I love to read and I would be sad to only have one book to read for the rest of my life.

4. Favorite song lyric?  I’m horrible with lyrics so I’m going with silly today. Our grandkids (and in-law kids) call Mark “Pop” or “Pops.” Our 6 year old granddaughter loves to “sing” this song to him. It is a cross between a song and a chant.

Hey!

Hey what?

Are you ready?

For what?

To pop

Pop what?

Pop See Ko!

 

My hands are high

My feet are low

And this is how I pop see ko

His hands are high

His feet are low

And this is how I pop see ko

Pop see ko

Pop-pop see ko

Pop see ko

Pop-pop see ko

5. Favorite album? I’m going in an entirely different direction because I don’t own any albums these days. I think my scrapbook albums are my favorite. As far as I know, they made it through the fire and are in storage somewhere.

6. Which time of day would you say is best for you work-wise? I’m a morning person – all the way.

7. What do you think people assume about you from first glance? When I weighed 60+ pounds more than I do now, I always felt like people assumed I was lazy which is the farthest thing from the truth.

8. Favorite city that you haven’t visited? How could it be my favorite if I’ve never visited there? I would love to travel the world and visit all the cities! I would love to go to Australia and New Zealand or Scotland.

9. If you received $10,000 but had to give it away, what would you do with it? I would split it between our kids and grandkids and I would probably give some to our church, too.

10. What is one book you wish you could get all your friends to read? I’m reading Marriage, a History by Stephanie Coontz. It is my textbook for this semester. I’m going to be honest. The history of marriage is really interesting and it really makes me think about the definition of marriage we have today.

11. What is one movie you wish you could get all your friends to watch? Y’all – today’s questions are giving me a hard time. I don’t watch that many movies. The most recent I’ve watched – the old Top Gun, Chocolat, and Pretty Woman. Actually, let me change my answer. Everyone should watch Encanto! It is such a good movie.

12. If you could create one thing, what would it be? A world where we truly love one another! Since I don’t think I can accomplish that, how about a fun fall craft? Or a fun Christmas craft?

13. If you could play any musical instrument, what would it be? I really wanted to learn how to play the trombone when I was in middle school! Seriously. I think now it would be either the piano or the guitar. I did take guitar lessons for a while when I was in my 40’s but I wasn’t very good. I mastered Ode to Joy and that was about it!

14. What is your favorite item of clothing? I love wearing exercise shorts and tank tops from Land’s End along with flip flops or tennis shoes! I love wearing dresses – they are so much cooler and more comfortable than many other items of clothing.

15. What is your favorite card/board game? I’m laughing out loud. Not only do we not watch movies . . .we don’t really play many games. We’ve been playing Go Fish with our oldest granddaughter and it is fun! Mark and I actually played our version of Dominoes during covid and we enjoyed that.
