So if any of you are on Facebook and have fallen victim to the temptation of taking any of their "silly" little quizzes you'll understand this post. Yesterday I took the HOW GIRLIE ARE YOU quiz and this is how it went.
1. Do you get manicures regularly? No
2. How Many pairs of heels do you own? I don't have any heels
3. How long does it take you to get ready in the morning? 5-10 minutes
4. What is your favorite color? Red (choices black, pink, blue and red)
5. How many boys have you liked in the past 3 years? 0-1
6. Which of these activities are you most interested in? Football, Ballet, Gymnastics, Art I chose art-for my crafty-ness
Results:
I am 0% GIRLIE! You are ALL man and NO girl!
WHAT? ALL MAN! Okay so my days of spending an hour getting ready are over, manicures are PURE torture and the smell gives me migraines not to mention nails are just too expensive to maintain. I considered including my grandsons and sons on questions #5 but I knew they were talking about your romantic interest so it's just one for me.
Then after taking this quiz I was in my bedroom folding laundry and my grandson, William is watching me with interest. I could tell something was on his mind and sure enough this is how our conversation went.
WILL: Grandma why do you always where those shirts?
ME: Well honey because this is all I have. I went on to explain that the pink one is my paint and cleaning shirt so I don't wear it to town because the lime green paint looks like mustard stains.
WILL: Well your green one has holes in it.
ME: Yes William it does. Grandma was pouring bleach in the washing machine and it splashed on my shirt.
WILL: Oh so that's why you where the red ones.
ME: Yes that's why grandma wears the red ones.
WILL: Well how come Grandpa has so many shirts?
ME: Because he likes shirts (and he's wrotten but I kept that thought to myself)
Seriously I told him once, "If a stranger looked into our closet they would assume you weren't married. Well the good thing about not having a place in our closet is when I die you can take my four shirts and hold a drawing and give one to each of our girls to remember me by or just throw them away." Sometimes he doesn't enjoy my sarcastic sense of humor. Here's a picture just in case you think I'm kidding.
So here's to feeling manly and old...by the way the next quiz I took said I had only lived 49% of my life so that means this manly man is living to be a hundred. Maybe Teele won't have to worry about cleaning out the closet for a while yet! Sorry girls looks like I'm keeping my shirts a little longer.
Sometimes you can't help but smile
