Today's Question-Asker, Elise, had a trifecta of questions for me:
1) How do I post a question?
2) Where do babies come from?
3) What is your favorite ice cream flavor and why?
Luckily for Elise, my answer to question one is pretty easy: CLICK HERE! To paraphrase, some practical ways would be posting a comment on this blog, posting a comment on my Facebook wall, e-mailing me, or texting me. Some impractical ways to post a question would be to translate your question into Sanskrit and mail it to me in a refrigerator box filled with packing peanuts, to paint your question on a large banner and fly it over Madison to get news coverage, or to knock me unconscious and whisper your question into my ear hoping that I would comprehend it and remember it when I awaken. You have the power!
Elise's second question is only slightly more complicated. My long answer involves topics such as awkward discussions with your parents; self-motivated research involving encyclopedias, dictionaries, and nausea relief medication; or even making up your own answer involving smiles and lie-down hugs. My short answer is right here: WORK SAFE!
Elise's final question, a two-parter, is much more complicated. While the foundation itself isn't so tough, what makes this difficult is timing. At the current point in my life, only peanut butter cup ice cream holds the key to my stomach's heart. I think of it, dream of it, and, ever-so rarely, get to eat it. But what will tomorrow hold? Will I rediscover my childhood love of cookies and cream? Will I stumble upon a new ice cream flavor not yet tasted and get my mind blown? Will I meet a talking cow who urges me to cease consuming its bodily products in a persuasive manner? Only time will tell. While baby origins and ridiculous ways to ask me a question will always be the same, the idea of "favorites" is an ever-evolving landscape.
Yes, Elise, I can give you this answer today; however, today is only the yesterday of tomorrow.
Stay tuned for today's tomorrow's questions from Mary, which will revolve around music, long-lost friends, and the writing of a new song!
