4. Five Things. List 5 things we don’t know about you, 5 things you’re knowledgeable about, 5 things you know nothing about, and 5 things you believe.
I’ve answered this prompt once before, but I thought I’d challenge myself to find 5 more things to believe in…
5 Things You Don’t Know About Me
1. I was grounded for an entire summer after missing curfew in high school. My mom thought I was purposely disobeying her when in fact, my friend and I had gone to a party and she was too drunk to take me home. Probably a good thing she grounded me for the rest of summer.
2. I believe when streetlights randomly turn off my Dad is sending me a message from “the other side” and my husband isn’t buying it. Every time a streetlight goes out I nudge him, “Seeeeee…did you see that one!?!”
3. I choked on a coin when I was little and when I finally swallowed it down I ran to my mom crying and she was all, “Oh is that what your screaming was all about? I thought you saw a spider.” She was watching Dallas so I can hardly blame her for not coming to my aid.
4. I only let my dog sleep on the bed because he keeps my feet warm.
5. If you see me on my phone I’m probably just trying to figure out what else I can remove to clear up space so that I can actually take a picture with it.
5 Things I’m Knowledgeable About
1. How to justify frivolous spending.
2. How to make a pizza on nearly any flat and edible surface.
3. How to laugh during prayer and other inappropriate places.
4. Procrastination.
5. Beating you at Mario Kart.
5 Things I Know Nothing About
1. Substitutes for ingredients while cooking.
2. Netflix.
3. Self discipline.
4. Consistency.
5. Approximately how many people “were there.”
5 Things I Believe
1. If you’re feeling extremely defensive or personally offended by something someone is saying about you, there may be a sliver of truth to it. Otherwise why care?
2. I am my mother’s favorite child.
3. You can make time for it.
4. Adults are just giant children and a lot of them could use a time out. Not me. Other adults. Okay sometimes me.
5. Sleep is not for the weak, sleep is for the smart and I want to be doing that right now.
