Did you have a hulahoop? Were you good at it?


It gave me the false impression that I was Saturn.

quote:

Did you have a baton? Could you twirl it well?


A baton reminded me a lot of a magic wand. Failing to pull a rabbit out of a hat reminds me that I'm not good at magic.

quote:

What was your favorite childhood candy?


Milk duds, sour gummy worms, and skittles.

quote:

Did you own skates, with four wheels on each skate, that fit over your shoes?


I think I still have the bruises on my behind to prove it.

quote:

Did you play cowboys and Indians?


It was all about Power Rangers and laser tag when I was growing up.

quote:

Do you remember Dreamsicles? Do you wish you had some in the freezer now?


I bet eating a Dreamsicle too fast would result in a brain freeze which would halt the dream altogether.

quote:

Did you dress up for services?


Mostly for big/important events.

quote:

Did your public school days ever begin with prayer?


Never. They did, however, begin with the Pledge of Allegiance.

quote:

Did you ever wear a mood ring? How about rings on most of your fingers?


I did have a mood ring, but I'm bi-polar, so it never remained a solid color.
