My girls were in fits and giggles playing this strange little game in the car.
They called it “Would you rather..”
Their answers were sometimes amusing, sometimes well….scary!
Would you rather drink an entire bottle of ketchup or swim with sharks?
Would you rather be a superhero or a super villain?
Would you rather have spaghetti noodles for arms or smell like a skunk?
You get the idea.
This amusing game got me thinking. I think we play this game in the suburbs every single day!
Would you rather have the house of your dreams and keep your career OR stay at home with that baby that now owns your heart? (went with my heart)
Would you rather a shower, laundry done, and maybe even dinner on the table when he gets home OR a nap. (you cannot have both so I pick shower, even though I would tell every one I know to go for the nap)
Would your rather have your Mommy uniform be jeans OR yoga pants? (will they remember if I wear the same pair of jeans every day all week?)
You must help out at the school. Would you rather serve on the incredibly boring pizza lunch committee OR the incredibly boring book sale fundraiser? (both come with pretentious know it all Mommies…must sort through to find the normals!)
Would you rather drive an SUV OR a mini-van? (SUV baby)
Would you rather your child take ballet OR skating lessons? (I’m playing the Canadian version of would you rather so we might have to do both)
Would you fancy a romantic evening out with the hubby OR a quiet night in with popcorn and a movie? (This implies I have a sitter? Guess we are stayin in!)
Would you rather Coach OR Kate Spade? (a girl can dream can’t she)
Would you rather give up your pool guy OR your lawn boy? (duh..useless creepy pool guy)
Life in the Suburbs often feels like a game, sometimes it’s Survivor, sometimes it’s the Amazing Race. I’m grateful today just felt like a tame version of Would you Rather.
Now tell me, have you come across an amusing Would You Rather??
this is fun – my kids sort of have this game too –
love your blog makeover!
Ok, so jeans are never dirty unless you can see a stain on them! That’s my story and I am sticking to it! I love the shower option, and I can’t give up my yard or pool guy….that’s me!
Love your post! Some of my answers – Yes to staying home, never have regretted it.
Shower, nap or laundry done – Oh today – LAUNDRY!! Yikes, it is scary today, and here I sit! lol
SUV or mini van. I have had both, now that kids are older – LOVE MY car!! Don’t want anything big or that carries many people ever again! lol
Coach
Ok can’t think of any more that you asked. Great ideas.
Great list. Just thinking of having a choice between Coach and Kate Spade is fun! Sigh.
Hmmm lets see… would you rather round up the cows from the side or round the cows up from the back?
Or, would you rather drive the tractor or drive the truck?
Or, would you rather weed this quarter or that quarter of the rose garden?
Or would your rather mow or clean the pool….
Oooooh, I could go on for HOURS!
Ooh I’m dying! I’m laughing from what Schmoochiepoo said!
CREATIVE! LOL. I may just do that to my husband. hahah.
I’ll give up my lawn boy haha. Everything else stays
Elijah is a sucker for these too! Coach or Kate Spade? Hmm.
Jeans or Yoga? Geez, make it hard on you!
I’d rather drink an entire bottle of ketchup.
Superhero. Can I have the fab body, too?
Spaghetti noodles for arms.
Can I stay home with the kids but have the income I make if I were working? Yes, please! (And a nanny. Thanks.)
Shower, laundry, and pizza ordered in. ‘Cause I can’t cook.
Always jeans when I’m out of the house, but lulu’s all the time when I’m in the house. Well, usually. And at the park.
I love books, so book fundraiser.
I’d only drive a mini-van if it was a VW. The new Routan baby!
Since I have 2 boys, I’ll say skating. Not to offend any moms who have put their boys in ballet, though! Just my opinion!
Popcorn! Quiet night in.
Coach. But my heart is all LV.
Ugh, I don’t have either.
By the way, wouldn’t it be so cool if Amazing Race did like, only blogging mommy teams? How fun would that be to watch?
