q's & a's

every Sunday morning at the beginning of our sunday school class, our director, RC gets up, makes announcements and introduces the visitors to the class. and while RC's tenure has just begun, he decided to continue on with the "tradition" begun by the previous director, who happened to be an aggie (aggies love their "radition", of asking the new couple a random question about one another.

i was so excited when RC mentioned that he didn't know what to ask the new couple and that he was nervous about his question. he casually asked for advice/help and i was oh so happy to help.

*his is a good time to confess that i love random questions and facts about anyone and anything. my love affair with odd questions began my Sr. year of high school as i was hiking up a rather large hill/small mountain with a 50ish lb. backpack on my back. to distract me from the task, a nice friend walked beside me (i was too stubborn to give him my pack when he offered to carry it for me) and we played "the question game" all the way up the hill. the game continued with the help of the USPS that summer and my fascination/love was born.

so, when RC asked me for my help i quickly flipped through my mental index of great questions and gave him some that i thought were sure-fire winners, "what was your favourite pair of shoes?" and "what would you eat for your last meal?" both were fairly well received and i think the class enjoyed the change of pace from the "taditional" what colour is your husband/wife's toothbrush question.

as we speak, i'm brainstorming for some new winners just in case RC asks me again this Sunday :)
