60 Questions

This questionnaire is brought to you by the usual culprit… me being awake at 4 in the morning…

1. Who do you call and text the most? 

Shannon & Laurel

2. If you could travel anywhere in the world this instant, where would you go? 

This instant? Disney World. This is not my answer for every instant, but right now? In February? During an Utah winter? Send me to Orlando, Baby!

3. Would you prefer to own a yacht or private jet?

Jet! (It comes with a pilot, right?)

4. If money and time were no object, what would you do for a living? 

I would open two businesses:

The first is a day spa where you can get therapy, so all of the aestheticians are also licensed therapists. You get to work through your sh*t while getting pampered. 

The second is a dance academy that offers free tuition and also teaches character building (with an emphasis on body image and self-worth) and includes movement classes for individuals with special needs. 

5. Would you rather be able to talk to birds or sharks?

Birds, but only because I feel like they would have all the hot gossip since they can fly and watch everything! What tea would sharks have? They’re stuck under water. They don’t know nothing. 

6. If you could have one superpower, which would you choose?

Photographic memory/perfect recall 

7. If you entered an eating contest, do you think you could win?

No comment.

8. Which country would you like to live in? 

Where do the nice people live? I’ll go there. Is it Canada?

9. If you could speak a foreign language, which would you speak?

Spanish

10. What superhero would you most like to be friends with? 

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles because there will be pizza.

11. If you were offered the chance to be on the first manned space flight to Mars, would you go?

No. I’m a pansy. 

12. What’s the most ridiculous thing that someone has ever fooled you into thinking was true?

My parents told me that if I cried in the mountains, the “man in the green truck” would come take me away, so I grew up with an irrational fear of forest rangers. 

13. What’s the riskiest thing you’ve ever done?

Got married and started breeding.

14. If you could be any animal for a day, what would you be? 

A gorilla. Because you can be super active or super lazy, and either way, everyone thinks you’re so cool and so amazing simply because you’re a gorilla.

15. If you could be famous for something, what would it be?

For being wonderful. And nice. I only want to be famous if everybody likes me. I don’t want to be famous and deal with people hating me. I have high demands for my fame. 

16. If you had to give yourself a new name, what would you call yourself?

Lil Boo Thang.

Yeah, I’d make it weird.

17. If you owned a restaurant, what kind of food would you serve?

Ward cookbook stuff. Mormon comfort foods.

18. What’s one food you could never bring yourself to eat?

I’m sure there’s something… I just don’t know what it is. 

19. Have you ever stalked someone on social media and accidentally liked a photo?

Stalked? Yes. But I don’t think I’ve ever accidentally liked a photo. I’ve accidentally sent a friend request before, though. 

20. What song could you listen to on repeat forever?

My namesake, Lil Boo Thang, obviously.

(But really, there is no song I could listen to on repeat forever. I would go absolutely mad within an hour).

21. If you could be in charge of Amazon or your favorite sports team, which one would you choose?

Seriously, what kind of question is this? Why would I want to be in charge of either of these things? Do people actually sit around fantasizing about being in charge of Amazon? 

22. If you could shop for free at any store for the rest of your life, which would it be?

Walmart. I gotta be practical here. If I need tampons, a mouse trap, new tires, and milk, ain’t nowhere else got my back like Walmart.

23. What famous person would you love to have dinner with?

The Irwins.

24. What’s the stupidest way in which you’ve hurt yourself?

Our Lady Lil Boo Thang.

No

33. What’s your favorite karaoke song?

I’ve been on the hunt for my karaoke song for many years and have yet to determine what it is. Since I sing karaoke NEVER, it’s hard to know. But almost every game night, we take turns trying to hit the high note in “Take On Me,” and that’s about as close as it gets. 

34. What’s your favorite jungle animal?

The kind that sings Hakuna Matata.

35. Do you count your daily steps?

I check my steps on my watch occasionally, but most days I don’t bother or care.

36. Which animal would sound the most intelligent if it could talk to us?

The bonobo because they are smart enough to clean their own poop out of their cages, so obviously they would have something intelligent to say.

37. What’s the worst meal you’ve ever cooked?

Lentil sloppy joes.

38. Do you like scary movies? 

Some. It depends of the nature of the “scare.” And the plot.

No comment.

42. What’s your favorite movie?

This post can help answer that one.

44. Do you enjoy roller coasters?

Yes indeed! 

45. Have you ever or would you ever try online dating?

Hell no.

46. Have you ever dumped anyone?

Yes

48. Are you still friends with your first best friend?

No - somehow I have lost touch with all of my preschool homies. 

49. What do you think happens when you die?

I don’t know. As a religious person, that’s not what my answer is supposed to be, but I don’t really know.

50. What are your dreams for the future?

Pay off our house. Pay off our van. Be financially secure and comfortable. Then decide where to go from there.

51. What’s your favorite childhood memory?

I have no idea. 

52. What’s your best family memory?

Again, I have no idea. But you can’t narrow these things down to one answer.

53. What’s your favorite time of year?

The two weeks after Halloween and the two weeks after New Year. I get a burst of energy fueled by “Hallelujah, it’s over!” and I get a ton of stuff done. 

54. What’s a bad habit you have that annoys you the most?

I don’t know if it’s really a “habit,” but clearing my throat. 

55. If you could make one rule for the family, what would it be?

I can make any rule I want. It doesn’t mean anyone will follow it! So let’s assume this question means the rule will be followed. If I could choose one family rule to always be followed, it would be to clean up after yourselves. I would choose that over no fighting. Go ahead and yell at each other in my clean house!

56. What’s the biggest challenge you’ve ever had to face and overcome?

I can’t designate anything I've experienced as "the biggest challenge" or God will give me a bigger challenge.

57. Are you good at waking up early?

Yes

58. Who’s the cleverest member of your family?

They’re all clever in different ways.

Rocky Road
