I'm going to start with something brief, so that I can feel like I've accomplished something today. These are two questions that I asked my mother when I was about 5 years old. Maybe 6. The first question, arguably the question that is not as amusing was as follows:
Me: Mom... what would we do if there was a tornado and a fire at the same time. Obviously, I had recently learned school drills about hunkering down (in a basement, if possible) during a tornado and fleeing the building during a fire.
Mom: That wouldn't happen.
Me: But what if it did?
Mom: exasperated Then we would go to the neighbors house.
This argument apparently worked as my feeble mind didn't realize we'd have to run next door in the tornado. *sigh*
The definitely more amusing question, especially coming from a 5 year old:
Me: Mom, how will I know how to call the big, black car to come and take you away when you die??
Mom: most likely horribly disturbed that her daughter is asking her this question at 5 years old I think you'll know how to do it by then.
Stay tuned for the next episode... where I will discuss my queer fascination with theatre and death.
