Play Along

James Lipton's questions:

1. What is your favorite word?

Fata Morgana

All right, technically that's two words, but I don't care because I love it that much.

2. What is your least favorite word?

War.

3. What turns you on?

Brains. Physics.

4. What turns you off?

Smoking.

5. What is your favorite curse word?

“F**k.” I mean, there are no other serious candidates. And I mean all its incarnations, too. Including mother****er, etc. There's an eff-word for all occasions.

6. What sound or noise do you love?

Demon Baby giggles.

7. What sound or noise do you hate?

Demon Baby whining. All right, maybe HATE is too strong a word. But it makes me edgy. And a mom of four on the edge is not a pretty sight.

8. What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?

Comparative religion professor. Organic farmer.

9. What profession would you not like to attempt?

Daycare teacher. I love kids but a room full of them would have me needing naptime by five minutes after nine a.m.


10. If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?

"Your grandparents are waiting for you at the poker table."

Feel free to answer all or one or two.

Have a great Sunday.
