Here are questions I’ve recently asked people I’ve already known for a long time. My new friend’s questions the other week were fine (and fun!) in the moment, but I think these may lead to better conversation. I may have asked number 3 here, but just answer it again. 🙂

  1. What were the circumstances when you memorably lied to your parents about where you were?
  2. If someone offs you at work (or at a family reunion, if you prefer), who are the first two or three people the police should question as suspects?
  3. What was the best thing you ate, the last time you went on a trip?
  4. When did you memorably do something really foolish after which there were no negative consequences?
  5. Of Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control, which three do you need a large dose of, which three just a medium shot of, and which three a small booster of?

Thanks for participating, and have a wonderful, terrific weekend!

I have recently become friends with a reporter for a national U.S. news outlet, and she is as fond of these kinds of questions as I am. No, I did not tell her about this website. We were out one night with other friends and she sprang several of them upon us (I asked a few of my favorites from this website too!). These are all from her. Some of them are similar (or even identical) to questions we’ve asked here, or questions you’ve answered on other memes, but I like her restrictions.

  1. If you could go back in time and murder anyone who’s ever lived, who would you choose? You’re not allowed to pick a certain German dictator from the 1940s.
  2. If you could have any super power, what would you choose — if it has to be something a human can do? For example, you could have super strength (because humans have strength) but you can’t have invisibility or flight (because humans can’t be invisible or fly).
  3. What super power do you already have?
  4. Who was your first celebrity crush?
  5. Which politicians do you find physically attractive?

Thanks for participating, and have a Jan Brady of a weekend!
