Hello, Kind Friends, I have really been enjoying your responses to my “Get to Know You” posts!
So, without further ado, here is round 6:
- If you had to swap your legs with the legs of any other animal, which animal would you choose?
- If you could know the answer to any question, besides “What is the meaning of life?,” what would it be?
- If you were trapped inside a TV show universe forever, which one would you pick and why?
- What did you do growing up that got you into trouble?
- What’s the funniest lie you believed as a child?
I shall leave my answers here:
- My husband thinks I’m so weird for asking this one! hahaha I would choose something fast, like a cheetah.
- Who killed Andrew and Abby Borden? 🪓 And how? And why?
- I had a few I might choose here, but finally ended up on Star Trek. 🖖 Of course. lol
- When I was little, I painted my sister’s pretty purple bike with white paint I’d found. I painted all of it… the seat, the handle bars, the pedals, etc. lol One thing you can say about me is, I don’t do things half-way.
- I had an uncle that told me if I could kiss my elbow, I’d get a gold tooth. Now, just picture a five year old trying in earnest to do that. lol
And now, it’s your turn! 😀 If you don’t want to participate, that is totally fine, there is no pressure. A hello would be fantastic, though! Of course, lurkers are always heartily welcome. xo
Thank you so much for reading, liking, lurking, and commenting!
• If you had to swap your legs with the legs of any other animal, which animal would you choose? I would definitely choose a giraffe’s legs – so long and so beautiful in motion. Second would be a cheetah, for the same reasons as you, Kymber.
• If you could know the answer to any question, besides “What is the meaning of life?,” what would it be? I would have to follow you again, Kymber, choosing a RL crime that is still unsolved. It’s about a little boy, Gregory, who was found tied up and drowned in a village in France in 1984. There’s been a documentary on Netflix about it, very well made but so tragic.
• If you were trapped inside a TV show universe forever, which one would you pick and why? Vampire Diaries – I’ll find a way to outsmart dull Elena to get yummy Damon to myself!
• What did you do growing up that got you into trouble? With two friends of mine, we sneaked into a pasture where we had fun playing cowboys on our imaginary horses (Monty Python had nothing to teach us cowgirls!) and moving the cows from one end to the other. The farmer saw us, we ran home, but he caught the youngest of us who told him who we were. He went to see our parents to tell them he might have overreacted, but playing in a pen with young bulls was definitely dangerous.
• What’s the funniest lie you believed as a child? My mom told me that I was born presenting my face, showing my nose first. Somehow, I understood I was born by the nose, or rather I came out from her nose! How angry I got when my best friend said it wasn’t possible!
Your answers are great, I’m going to have to play along!
Thank you! 😀 That would be great, but only if you want to. 😀
Yes for sure I do.
That bike sounds legendary!! White on purple = classic! You probably gave it a great upgrade. You wouldn’t be in trouble if you were my child, I’d give you a gold star for creativity!
Here are my answers …
If you had to swap your legs with the legs of any other animal, which animal would you choose?
A horse = strong legs that are not too thick or thin, kind of like legs of a gymnast.
If you could know the answer to any question, besides “What is the meaning of life?,” what would it be?
How could I invent a memory machine to re-live the favorite parts of my life?…
If you were trapped inside a TV show universe forever, which one would you pick and why?
“Top of the Pops” then I can hear lots of great music from several decades.
What did you do growing up that got you into trouble?
I convinced my little sister to stick a vitamin up her nose. Ha-ha!
What’s the funniest lie you believed as a child?
This is bad, but when I was maybe 9, I heard a guy in school say something about “cum.”
I asked my mother what it meant and she said “When a guy tells his girlfriend to come into his arms and you come.” LMAO!!!!!!!!!! 😀 😀 😀
LOL I think there were lots of times my parents didn’t quite know what to do with me. haha
I think a horse is a marvelous answer.
Oh, wow! That is such a creative question! I love it!
I hadn’t thought of Top of the Pops! Another good answer!
LOLOLOL You are so funny!
Oh, funny! LOL 😀
I’m sorry—I just shared this onto three of your four platforms. Can’t think creatively right now!
Awwww thank you so much, Jonathan! It’s totally fine, no need to be sorry at all. I appreciate you and am glad you’re here.
Thank you. I’ll try to do better next time. Too near suppertime, I think!
LOL No worries. Enjoy your supper. 😀
If you had to swap your legs with the legs of any other animal, which animal would you choose? I would pick a Gorilla. Because it is pretty similar to human legs.
If you could know the answer to any question, besides “What is the meaning of life?,” what would it be? Will the human race go extinct this century?
If you were trapped inside a TV show universe forever, which one would you pick and why? Star Trek
What did you do growing up that got you into trouble? I said a curse word when I was 3 years old. I was put on time out and my mom lectured me a long time about how Jesus doesn’t like it when you swear. After that I went around the neighborhood listening for curse word and lecturing anyone who cursed about how Jesus doesn’t like it when you curse. The neighbors loved that.
What’s the funniest lie you believed as a child? That Finland was the largest country in the world.
I hadn’t thought of switching with a gorilla. Great answer!
What a frightening, but interesting question you pose.
YAY, fellow Trekkie! 🖖
LOL I bet that was cute. 😀
LOL Your answers are great, Thomas! Thanks for playing!
Thank you for the fun game Kymber. About the swearword/Jesus story. Once I overheard workers building a house nearby swearing, and I told them the same thing “Jesus doesn’t like it when you swear”, and they told me they were speaking English. They said English words are swearwords in Swedish. That confused the heck out of me.
I can see why you were confused. LOL I would have been, too.
That Jesus story is adorable Thomas!
Thank you Maryanne
Antelope 2. Is there really an afterlife? 3. A bad movie show like Texas 27 Film Vault or Mystery Science Theater 3000 or similar Movie Host shows. So I could wallow in laughing about bad and campy movies all day long. 4. Checking out books from the library that I was supposedly too young for. 5. “Everyone was laughing at you” when I misbehaved.
Great answers! Antelope! Awesome!
And that’s a great question!
I’m laughing at Mystery Science Theater. I think that would be fun LOLOL If the little robots didn’t drive me crazy first, that is. 😀
Your answers are terrific! Thank you for playing!
Glad to do it!
Okay. Here we go…
The leg swap. I would go with something fast like a cheetah. But if I stayed human, I would probably pick Betty Grable.
The question. Remember. I am 70. So my question that needs an answer…”Where did I put…”
The tv show. I would take an oldie. Probably Maverick because he was just a cool cowboy.
What got me in trouble? Homework and not coming home on time. Especially when I got older.
Finally, one of mom’s lies. I remember it like it was yesterday…”If you stay inside all day you’re gonna turn GREEN!”
Now, your turn…
How old were you when you first voted.
Name an old time actress you would like to be.
What was the first car you drove.
Who was your first crush when you were little.
This is really fun to do.
I was just at your blog while you visited mine, I think! LOL
LMAO Oh, yes, Betty Grable is the perfect answer! haha
LOL at your question. So funny.
Maverick was oh, so cool.
LOL Your mom’s lie was funny!
Now your questions:
I was 18. 😀
Judy Garland without the substance abuse issues. I want to sing like Judy!
The first car I drove was a little red Sunbird. It was sooo cute.
My first crush when I was little was Elvis. My mom used to watch his old movies whenever they were on TV and so I would watch with her. He died when I was 7 and I was absolutely devastated that I’d never see him live.
• I’d want to be Puss in his seven league boots
• “What was the name of those little pieces of paper that fly off and make a mess when we pull pages out of spiral bound notebooks, again?…”
• Star Trek Next Gen, without any doubt or hesitation
• I was both socially completely clueless, always well intentioned, and much smarter than almost everyone I knew. Believe me, that’s all it takes.
• Both my parents were very careful never to lie to me. As a result I developed the habit of listening to people’s words, and so (here’s the funny part) spent most of the first part of my life believing lie after lie. Now people are so obvious to me while lying they don’t even have to get out of their cars for me to know it.
Hey, we picked the same TV show!
We sure did! I love your answers! lol When I read ST:TNG, I said to myself, “YAY Trekkie!” lol I’m such a nerd.
I wish I could discern when people are lying to me. There are some rather painful situations I wouldn’t have been in had I known how to do that. lol
What IS that paper called that flies off from spiral notebooks, anyway? LOL Good question, good question! 😀
They’ll know what those little things are called when we get on board…
lol Right on 🙂
👌
If you had to swap your legs with the legs of any other animal, which animal would you choose? I would swap with a horse but would want all four so I guess I would toss in the hands as well.
If you could know the answer to any question, besides “What is the meaning of life?,” what would it be? How to win the Mega Millions jackpot
If you were trapped inside a TV show universe forever, which one would you pick and why? think I would pick Desperate Housewives. My reason would be living on the street with those beauties would make my day, every day.
What did you do growing up that got you into trouble? I was always in trouble for speaking my mind. The little Johnny jokes were pretty close to home.
What’s the funniest lie you believed as a child? I bought into the idea that the moon was made of green cheese. My adult neighbor told me that and I just assumed he knew what he was talking about. He also said to buy Studebaker automotive stock when I grew up.
LOL I love that you’re willing to toss the hands in, too. 😀
Now there is a good question to get an answer to! Very clever.
hahaha Desperate Housewives – that’s great!
LOL Somehow I can see little Johnny speaking his mind.
hahaha
Your answers really had me rolling. Thanks so much for playing!
😁
I bet you get fun answers to that last question!
Hi, Jacqui! It’s great to see you! 🤍🌻🌺
I bet you’re right. 🤣😂
Love these little games, Kymber! Loved your answers, as well. If I could swap my legs with any animal, it would be a mountain goat because they are sure-footed. 🙂 The burning answer I’d like to know is why society is so out of balance and why can’t all be equal. Trapped in a TV Universe would be a nightmare, but the only show I can think of is Yellowstone because I loved all the characters so much. I did a lot of things growing up that got me in trouble, but the first one I really remember was getting into my mom’s lipstick and smearing it all over my face. I was very young, but I never forgot the spanking. 🙂 I’m not sure I really believed any lies as a child. I’ll have to ponder that. I was never taught there was a Santa or Easter Bunny or anything like that, so maybe the biggest lie I believed as a child was that there was an eternal hell with fire and damnation. 🙂
I’m so glad you like these games, Jan. 🤍🌻🌺
I think a mountain goat is a great answer!
I think your question is good, too. I also want to know the answer to that one.
The Mister and I really liked Yellowstone. I think being trapped in a TV world would be a nightmare, too. lol
Oh dear, your face must have been a sight! I’m sorry about the spanking, though.
Oh, yes, I see. I grew up with that belief, too. I also believed in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, etc. It was quite a let down to find out it wasn’t true.
Hi Kymber! Love your stories and these questions get better each week!
If you had to swap your legs with the legs of any other animal, which animal would you choose? A horse! Fast and powerful!
If you could know the answer to any question, besides “What is the meaning of life?,” what would it be? This took me so long to think of an answer for. So much so that my final answer ended up being: If you could know the answer to any question, besides the meaning of life, what would it be?
If you were trapped inside a TV show universe forever, which one would you pick and why? Winnie the Pooh, without hesitation.
What did you do growing up that got you into trouble? I wasn’t the brightest kid so this could be a whole book worth of pages, for that reason I’ll go with the first that comes to mind: While riding my bike, alone, I saw a “speed limit 25” mile per hour sign leaning to the point where it could easily be lifted off of the ground. I removed it with the intention of bringing it home, for what reason I still don’t know. Put it in my room to impress people I guess. Being that it was probably 3 times the size of me, I drug both the sign and my bike back to my house, which of course caused a scene because the sound of a metal post scraping against a sidewalk is louder than I originally thought. Just like you, I tend to not do things halfway so I had no choice but to keep going. Well of course someone called the police (…Why?) and a police car must have either been very close by, or deemed this whole situation an emergency because they arrived as I was still en route to my house. As they pulled up next to me, just kind of blankly looking at me, I immediately threw it on the ground thinking it would get me out of trouble and solve the problem. It didn’t, and despite the police thinking it was mildly funny, my mom of course did not.
What’s the funniest lie you believed as a child? I had a pet turtle named Sunny: I’m probably the only person in history who had their turtle run away and not notice, which actually happened one day when I brought it outside. Fast forward a few weeks: One day I went outside, and I saw “Sunny” standing there in the middle of the yard. Of course I ran to the new “Sunny”, picked it up, and said to my mom “Look!! Sunny came back to me!!”. Despite Sunny’s diet having completely changed, and being a completely different color than the first turtle (I attributed it to the sun), it never occurred to me that my mom placed the turtle outside for me to find.
LOL Oh, how I love your answers, Gorilla! I laughed and a had a big grin all the way through.
I think a horse is a wise choice for the reasons you list!
Good response! Mine popped into my head right away because I’ve been studying that case since the age of 12 and it’s taken me that long to realize we will never know.
Now I have the Winnie-the-Pooh song stuck in my head. But that is not a bad thing. 😀
I laughed so hard at your sign-grabbing story! I could just picture a boy on a bike, dragging that noisy thing behind him until the police showed up. I’m still laughing. That would have been some really cool room décor.
Awww…. I love that your mom did that. And that you reasoned it out in your head about his changed color. 😀
Great answers!
