I asked my parents 20 questions to see how well they knew me, and here's how it went.
1.) What's my favorite food?
Dad: Steak
Mom: Macaroni
Me: You both are wrong, it's watermelon.
2.) What's my favorite coffee?
Dad: Starbucks
Mom: Starbucks (caramel macchiato with the drizzle thing)
Dad: Yeah I got that right
Me: I was going to say pumpkin spice latte but I do get that more often so I'll give you that to you, Mom.
3.) What insect do I hate?
K: Spider. What do they call them?
Mom: Arachnids?
Dad: Yeah those things.
Mom: Spider
Me: Yes, it is spiders.
4.) If I could be anything in this life what would it be?
Dad: Judge
Mom: President
Me: I'm going to give Dad that point. I was going to say either a Supreme Court Judge or an NFR world champion, but president would be pretty cool, too.
5.) Who do I idolize?
Dad: Ummm...Bobby Knight, Aunt Stephanie
Mom: Well I think it's Lord, then some president, then your momma.
Me: Well...kind of. I was going to say my parents, but I guess you're both right.
6.) Where do I want to live when I'm older?
Dad: Hometown in Indiana
Mom: On your hometown ground
Me: Yes, you are both right.
(Easton (boyfriend) chimes in: in an old nursing home with drama.)
7.) After I graduate from Miami what do I want to do?
Dad: Go to Bloomington and get your law degree
Mom: Get your law degree
Me: Yes to both.
8.) Where do I want to go for grad school (two 2 choices)?
Dad: Somewhere in North Carolina and was UPenn but you didn't like that...
Mom: *jumps in* IU AND DUKE I GOT IT RIGHT
Me: Yeah, mom gets that one.
9.) Who are three of my best friends?
(Easton starts jumping up and down to answer)
Dad: Maci, Lexy, your sister can't be one, Gracie
Mom: Abbi, your parents, Easton, Samantha
Dad: I took family out. Unfair.
Me: I will give you both a point on that one, they are all my best friends.
10.) If I were to get a new car, what would I get?
Dad: If you were smart you'd get a new bronco. But you'd get a rear-engine paddle-shift zo6 corvette.
Mom: I was also gonna say that corvette the same but also a Bugatti.
Me: I'm giving dad that one. He was more specific.
11.) What's one thing I do when I get nervous or anxious?
Dad: Whine.
Mom: You do that bouncy thing with your leg.
Me: Yes Mom, you're right.
12.) Do I snore?
Dad: Sometimes.
Mom: Yes.
Me: No, I do not!
(Easton: Yes you snore and whenever you're not you breathe like shriek. Kind of like a whale blowing out of their blowhole.)
13.) Horror movies or comedies?
Dad: Comedies
Mom: Comedies
Me: You both are right.
(Easton: comedy's but you prefer the notebook *I've never seen the notebook*)
14.) Going out or staying in?
Dad: Going out
Mom: Depends on the season and where you're at, but overall staying in.
Me: Probably staying in.
15.) Am I superstitious?
Everyone: YES *then they start making fun of me*
16.) What is something I do every year around the holidays?
Dad: Make noodles
Mom: Fast before every meal
Me: Dad gets that one. It's making noodles.
Mom: SERIOUSLY YOUR DAD GETS THAT ONE! YOUR DAD WOULD NEVER KNOW YOU FAST. THAT IS NOT FAIR. If your dad wins this I'm not speaking to you for a week.
17.) What is my favorite holiday?
Dad: Christmas
Mom: Thanksgiving
Me: It's Thanksgiving
18.) Do I trust easily?
Dad: No.
Mom: Heck no.
Me: Correct.
19.) What do I hate more than anything else in this world?
Dad: Spiders.
Mom: Spiders. Liars. Cheaters.
Me: You both are wrong, it is spit noises and people chewing with their mouths open.
20.) What's my favorite book?
Dad: Pff John Grissom. Idk. Minecraft.
Mom: Ummm it's that gold book on your shelf. I need to go look. Crap. Not Minecraft. The beautiful one on your shelf.
Me: You mean The Odyssey?
Mom: OH RIGHT.
Me: Yes, that is correct.
Overall, both my parents know me extremely well, and I am so blessed to have them both.
