Step 11: Ask the Right Questions

Sorry for the lull in posts, but between preparing my sister for college and potty training another person's toddler, I fear my brain has become squishy and weak. I'm working on it. Anyway,

I firmly believe that one should never be afraid to be inquisitive, especially when it comes to something important such as a relationship. Asking the right questions helps you evaluate your special friend's qualifications and shows/makes it appear that you are interested in their life.

If you've been keeping tabs on my Facebook and cell phone records, you may know that I have a boyfriend and yes, we like-like each other. He constantly impresses me with his ability to answer even my most challenging of questions. Questions such as:

Q. If I were attacked by a bear right now, what would you do?


A. "Get in front of you and punch it in the nose... or are we supposed to play dead? We can Google it."

This is a satisfactory answer because it shows that he is honest enough to admit ignorance of proper bear attack procedure, is willing to learn more about the subject, and would bravely sacrifice his own safety to protect me from a rampaging bear.

Q. If you could hang out with any Muppet, who would it be?

A. Kermit 

I chose Grover because he is a good salesman and a decent waiter. While I might have liked more elaboration, Kermit is by all accounts an awesome frog with a laid lack attitude and an analytical mind. Had The Boy chosen Elmo or Miss Piggy, I may have reconsidered our relationship.

As you can see by this clip, Grover and Kermit have an undeniable comedic chemistry:





In conclusion, if you and someone special find yourselves sitting in a tree and you want to know if it's wise to be K-I-S-S-I-N-G, ambush them with a few strange questions. If they're worth your while you'll get some interesting answers. What's the strangest thing someone has asked you?
