if you ask it, i will answer



I wonder "what if..." quite often. For example:

* What if my husband had a different job?
* What if we were to move to another city, where would we go?
* What if my next child is not as well behaved as the redhead?
* What if the redhead never gets pottytrained?

Things like that. But I also wonder crazy things like:

* If one the New Kids had shown up on my doorstep when I was in 7th grade. Would I have gone with them, or would I have been too shy?
* If one of the New Kids showed up on my doorstep today, what would I do? I do happen to have the answer to this one. I'd show them this letter, give them their little "present" and send them on their way.
* If I could chew only one kind of gum for the rest of my life, what would it be?

Sooooooo...

Now its your turn to ask me some of your zaniest "If" questions. I promise I will answer them, no matter how crazy they might be.

Now get to askin'!

You are too funny...I will think of one, but now I am asking myself what in the world I am doing reading this post at 1:30 am...ugh! Not good.

Why did the Howells bring all their money and jewels with them on a 3 hour cruise while Maryanne only got to bring that little red checkered belly shirt and her Daisy Dukes?

If your husband got a job as a New Kid, would you move to another city where it would be easier for the redhead to be pottytrained, or would you have another child who chewed gum forever?

Swirl Girl and Lizzy win--those are the best questions!

Here we go:

If Jason Statham showed up on your front porch, would you give him directions to my house?

If I sent The Readhead protective headgear, would you let him wear it? Every day? Especially when you're talking to me?

If I found a good karaoke joint between me and you, would we meet up there and sing Pat Benatar?

Well, that's just silly. Of COURSE we would. And loudly.

I am not so clever as all the others......but they have posed questions that I think need an answer. Maybe chewing gum helps with potty training?

I too always find myself asking what if?. The problem is that it does not matter. At least not the past what if's. As far as the ....what if I .......whatever are a little harder. You can not ever really know what you are going to do until a situation comes up.

I know I like to think I have prepared myself(and family) for all the what if situations in life but What if they make the wrong choices?(there I go with the what ifs)

My what if to you is....What if You had to choose between seeing or hearing....what would you choose? (losing your sight or hearing)

It's tough, but it will make you think.

Have a great day!

What if you could only read one blog forever..what would it be?

What if you knew you were going to have triplets next...would you still get pregnant?

If you had to choose...would you lose your sight, hearing, or ability ot talk?

What if you had to move to a new state in another region of the country? How would you feel about the new challenge, and where would you like to go? And with a clean slate and no expectations from your new neighbors and friends, having not yet accepted any responsibilities, is there anything in your life you would want to do in a new way? Things you would want to quit doing? New things you would like to try?
