"Answer A Question No One Has Thought To Ask You" Robert Fulgum

Courtesy of one of my favorite blogs by Valancy Jane:

 Valancy's:

Why yes, I would like to live forever. I’ve never been bored, ever, so why wouldn’t I?

(See why I love reading her blogs? LOVE IT!!!)

Mine?

No, I don’t feel flattered when you ask me if I’m tired, and really I’m NOT in fact tired. I just have no makeup on. So thanks! For letting me know I look like SHIT al natural.

And YES I do in fact hope you choke on your donut!

Ok now! Your turn!

After about 6 or 7 times of my dad asking me "Baby, are you tired?" I had to gently "remind" him his "baby girl" is 43!!  I was actually feeling pretty energetic each time he asked so it was a reality check for me as well!

 You know, it is scary when you see someone you haven't seen in a long time.....like a childhood sweetheart and then you see them 30 years later and you know who she is but you're afraid to say anything for fear you'll hurt her feeling and pop you upside the head!  I saw someone at the National Delano Nightout the other day.   I haven't seen her since high school and there she was, what did I do?  I turned and kept busy working in my booth and she then disappeared.  Aint' no telling if I'll see her again.  I also saw an old girlfriend from high school  and it was hard to believe this was the same person because she was like huge but I understand what happens as we get older.

It is difficult for me to come up with a question that no one THOUGHT to ask me.  I'm sure they've THOUGHT but not asked things like, "Wow, how much weight have you gained?" or "Gosh, what happened to you; you've aged?"  Actually, a man who used to do my yard saw me in WalMart a while back and asked, "What happened to you?"  I guess I wasn't as nice-looking as I used to be in his opinion. Sure, I had no makeup and wore my oldest, least flattering sweats but what the heck?  (He's no looker himself, and "Dude, it's time to lose that ponytail.  What are you 52 or something?)

Hmmm....the best I can come up with is this:

"You mean you REALLY want to know how I am?  Really?  You aren't just satisfied with my answer that I'm fine?  You really care about me?  How refreshing!  In that case, this is how I really am."   Then I'd let it all out.  When I finish, the person would probably be sorry he/she asked for more than "I'm fine."  hehehe
