1You tell a joke and everyone else groans. What do you do?
Giggle internally.
Apologize for my bad joke.
Laugh at my own joke for the next five minutes. Tell it again tomorrow.
2How much time do you spend on vacation taking pictures?
I like to experience things without a camera between me and life.
Once I took selfie videos of an entire trip to Europe.
I like to capture the most important moments. I’ll throw in a selfie or two.
3How far are you willing to take a joke?
I’ve carried out some elaborate pranks in my life. I wouldn’t say I’m the master, but I’m willing to hand-make a costume or two to create the right ambiance.
Commitment is my middle name. There is nothing I would not do to bring a pun to life.
I’m pretty shy. I don’t like to draw attention to myself, so I don’t do big comedy.
4How do you express affection to the people close to you?
I’m pretty vocal about affection. I say “I love you” on a regular basis and make sure they know why.
I’ll say I love you out loud on birthdays if I have to.
They should just know. I build things for them don’t I?
5Have you ever tried to ask Google a question and instead accidentally called your child?
What’s google?
Who would do that?
Maybe once, but I was driving at the time and couldn’t see what I was doing.
6You go to the grocery store. What does your cart look like?
Pizza rolls. More pizza rolls.
A nice mix of produce and basic ingredients to match the meal plan I put together for my week.
I’ve got some junk food in there, but mostly I try to cook my own meals.
7How do you feel about new technology?
I keep my resume on a floppy drive. I’m up to date, I swear.
I’m hardly on the cutting edge, but I’ve got Facebook, I text, and I can figure out how to Google most problems.
I’m so up to date I think virtual reality is passe.
8Someone close to you asks for a serious talk. You sit down, and they drop a bomb: “I’m gay.” How do you respond?
Hi Gay. I’m Dad.
I’m glad you trusted me. Anything you need from me to support you?
Well you know I still love you.
9How do you feel about publicly embarrassing the people close to you?
I know sometimes I act a little weird in public, but I’m not about to let the judgment of strangers get in the way of my comfort.
I don’t understand what embarrassment is.
I think it’s awful to put someone in an uncomfortable situation, especially if it’s to teach them a lesson.
10Will you buy a product without researching or testing it first?
That’s shiny! I better buy it!
No way! If I have to take it out of the box in the store and check it out, I will.
If it’s something expensive I’ll look into it.
11If your daughter asked you if she could paint your nails or if you would play dress up with her, how would you react?
I would let her, but I’d be cranky about it.
I guess so. I like seeing her smile.
OF COURSE! Let’s get some crowns and sing Let It Go too.
