Loaded Questions

If anyone were ever going to publicly roast me and make fun of all my quirks, he or she could mention how many opportunities I find to bring out the "Loaded Questions" cards.


Never go anywhere without them!

I am very attached to my deck of Loaded Questions cards.


I keep half the deck in my backpack or the car (always with me when traveling) and the other half of the deck on a shelf in the kitchen (always available when we have guests).


Some memorable times with Loaded Questions...
  • waiting at the end of the Ragnar race (Matt H....Mao Tse-Tung's face all over the wallpaper in my bedroom)
  • at Newly-wed parties on Valentine's (Becky J....my biggest body part?  "my hair"  or the year when the men wrote down the answer to "How 'hip' are you on a scale of 1 to 10, and then wives had to guess what they'd answered...)
  • distracting tired kids so they will keep hiking (Mercy...what two words describe your life?  "adventure" and "Mom")
  • when all the YSA's are over at your house on a regular basis (Tiffany, Jess, Hannah, Tui...Did you drive all the way from Hamilton just to come play the question game at Holly's house???)
  • on long car rides with family or friends (Holly S....What would you like your nickname to be?  "Ace")
  • Saturday night parties with the boys' friends, before the blessing on the food (Gavin...What are you most neurotic about? "these kinds of question games!")
  • New Year's Eve parties (What is your favorite charity?)
  • a way to liven up dinnertime conversation when the kids were younger and Mike was gone.  (It seemed like a lot of hours talking in circles with little kids back then...)
