Rules:

Connect with another Vocal creator and swap 5 questions with them. Then you can each write about it and insert it into Interview. (I guess it would have to be at least 600 words to qualify)

1) What movie has made you laugh the hardest? (Tell me where you were the first time you saw it)

2) What is your idea of a perfect date? (You don't have to be single to do this...just take your other half along)

3) What color/shade/hue makes you cringe a little when you see it? (aversions don't have to make sense)

4) What is something that you've never been good at but wanted to be?

5) What person in your life have you trusted the most and why?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Judey has some great prompt ideas, but in the Spirit of 2024, one of my goals is to get to know you Creators a bit better. So, I chose her number 15.

I'm hoping that some of the new Creators will participate, too. Don't be shy!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So, here goes my half of the equation:

I'd like to start with answering the most serious question, though. The person I have most trusted in my life has without a doubt, been my Aunt Sis. She rescued me from a bad situation at a young age. She led by example. She nurtured the best in me and called me out for the worst. She molded me into a responsible human being. She did not change one iota in her character or love towards me, even when I disappointed. She was my constant. I had stability and security under her wings and the world was safe. I am forever grateful she was was in my corner.

Secret Confession: (I have always wanted to be able to sing) Well, I can sing, but NOT well. My singing voice is so badly off pitch that when my kids were little and I was singing the hymns in church, they would look at me and say, "Mama, don't sing!" I would remind them that the Bible says to make a joyful noise to the Lord, and they would say, "But it's NOT joyful." Funny, yes...but sadly, true. At least they were honest, right?

So, you might think that the answer to the perfect date question I'm about to give, might just ruin the "perfect part"...but it's my dream and my imagination, so here it is: The two of us are on a small trip that will end up at a cabin by a nice body of water (with no snakes) where we will fish all day (but catch and release because I don't eat fish.) On the way to the cabin, we will be jamming to the oldies (60's, 70's, & 8o's...) We will be singing and having a good old time. My date won't care if I sound terrible or not, by the way! We have food and snacks and drinks in the cooler for a picnic. Simple, together, and memory making=perfect date, even though I can't carry a tune in a bucket.

So, this brings me to the 1987 movie that make me laugh so hard, that I literally cried. I love the slapstick irony and I think Bruce Willis played his part superbly. Blind Date...I most likely rented it from Blockbuster and watched it from home.

Lastly, and don't ask me why, because I honestly could not tell you, but I hate the color of subdued, mustard yellow. I suppose it makes me think of being sick. It is the same color of baby poop. Even the sound of "Colonel Mustard" makes him/her automatically the culprit in my book. He/she did it, I'm sure of it!
