Earlier this week, I saw someone post these questions on Facebook as a really fun way to pass the time on a roadtrip. Well, we accidentally forgot to do them on the way back from Tulsa, so we're doing them now.
We both answered these sets of questions separately and without discussing them or cheating, then read our answers out loud to each other. Jordan did a lot better guessing mine than I did guessing his. Ha! Hope these make you giggle!
ROUND ONE: I ask and Jordan answers.
Me: What is something I always say to you?
Jordan: You call me "Stink!" a lot.
My answer: "Stink!'
Me: What makes me happy?
Jordan: Food.
My answer: You and Tom Hanks! And food.
Me: What makes me sad?
Jordan: Mean people and sad things. Um, more specifically, like...hurt animals and/or dead animals; being away from people you love (or Tom Hanks).
My answer: Feeling like I'm career-aimless right now.
What was I as a child?
Jordan: Angsty.
My answer: You'll say I was angsty.
How old am I?
Jordan: How what? You're 27. Of course. 27 years, 4 months, and 14 days old.
My answer: 27. You better get this right.
What's my favorite thing to do?
Jordan: *Gives me a look as if to say, "Is this gonna be okay if I say it out loud?"* then says, "Eat? I mean, I'm sorry, but that's true. Also people - you love people."
My answer: Watch bad TV and hang out with you guys. And blog. And sing. And eat, honestly.
How tall am I?
Jordan: Are't you like 5' 5 3/4'' and you tell people you're 5'6''?
My answer: 5'6''.
What do I do when you're not around?
Jordan: Watch bad TV and, uh...text. Um, chores: groceries, cleaning, other inside chores. I guess, also work.
My answer: Chores and watch trashy TV.
If I become famous, what will it be for?
Jordan: I think writing, honestly.
My answer: Maybe singing or writing?
What am I good at?
Jordan: What are you good at? You're good at a lot of things, that's not very fair. I mean, how do you start listing, alphabetically or chronologically? (He then went on to say about 5 minutes' worth of REALLY nice things that made me glad we got married.)
My answer: I guess singing and writing, and maybe cooking?
What makes you proud of me?
Jordan: You take really good care of our family. And everyone that meets you loves you! And when you say something really funny.
My answer: You like that I'm a good cook and that I'm a generally nice person.
What is my favorite food?
Jordan: Mashed potatoes.
My answer: Mashed potatoes.
Where is my favorite place to eat?
Jordan: Dining room table. Oh, sorry, I misunderstood. Any Mexican place or any pizza place. Or somewhere expensive.
My answer: Mexican or pizza. Doesn't really matter where. My standards are very low.
Where is my favorite place?
Jordan: Home, but that to you is still your parents' house.
My answer: Anywhere my family is.
How old was I when we met?
Jordan: 25. Wait. No. 24.
My answer: 23.
When is our anniversary?
Jordan: August 2nd.
My answer: 8/2/14
If I could go anywhere, where would it be?
Jordan: Is it Italy where you want to go so bad?
My answer: Greece or Italy.
Do you think you could live with me forever?
Jordan: Yeah, that's what I signed up for. Right??
My answer: You're contractually obligated to, so this question is null.
How do I annoy you?
Jordan: Do you want the list chronologically or alphabetically? Haha!
My answer: With games like this.
What is your favorite thing about me?
Jordan: Your personality. I just like you.
My answer: You'll say something like, "Your butt - I mean, heart!"
ROUND TWO: Jordan asks and I answer.
What is something I always say to you?
Mary: "Mary..." (in a warning tone because I'm about to accidentally hurt myself somehow.)
Jordan's answer: "Unbelievable."
What makes me happy?
Mary: Tom Hanks and me. And fishing.
Jordan's answer: Being outside and in the woods. And my little family.
What makes me sad?
Mary: People who can't defend themselves from being picked on or bullied.
Jordan's answer: People who can't defend themselves getting taken advantage of.
What was I as a child?
Mary: Independent.
Jordan's answer: What does this even mean? I've been sitting here for like 5 minutes and can't figure that out. Probably good sometimes and bad sometimes, happy, sad, fun, mean, loud, quiet, etc...
How old am I?
Mary: 28.
Jordan's answer: I'm 28. <who the hell doesn't know that IN THE NEWLYWED GAME?! Their own age or their NEW spouse's?!>

Mary: Be outside in nature. And fish. And hang out with us.

How tall am I?
Mary: You are exactly 6'0''.
Jordan's answer: 6'0"
What do I do when you're not around?
Mary: Fly fish, mostly. Or watch bad sci fi movies that you know I'll hate.
Jordan's answer: Fish, read, hike... you know, stuff.
If I become famous, what will it be for?
Mary: Inventing something or being a great teacher later in life.
Jordan's answer: Probably something dentist-y but I wish it was something more interesting. <Jeez, I can't even be creative in my own fantasy. My power of flight! Oh wait, did I just say that out loud?>
What am I good at?
Mary: Eye roll because you're good at (and know you're good at) a lot. But I love how good you are at crazy crafting/woodworking, I love your curveball skill of being a great sketch artist, and obviously you're a very good doctor.
Jordan's answer: This is a loaded question - pass.
What makes you proud of me?
Mary: I love how great you are with other people - you can always make a situation fun and make everybody in the room feel comfortable. You're very funny (don't let it go to your head), and I really do admire you as a medical professional. You're very gentle and kind to your patients, but still execute at a very high level.
Jordan's answer: She sometimes mentions: how hard I work, that I try to be nice to people, <All of these questions seem so ego-stroking. Eesh.>
What is my favorite food?
Mary: You don't really have favorite food like I do, as in you don't really crave anything ever. But you do love my cooking (tomato soup particularly) and cheesecake.
Jordan's answer: Don't have one but I enjoy pretty much everything. Maybe just 'good food.'
Where is my favorite place to eat?
Mary: Outside? I don't know.
Jordan's answer: Same as above. Depends.
Where is my favorite place?
Mary: Around your family.
Jordan: Home (in Asheville).

Jordan's answer: August 2, 2014
If I could go anywhere, where would it be?
Mary: Probably a tour of the National Parks. You would love that.
Jordan's answer: Some amazing national park with amazing views, but not one specifically. Maybe the Patagonia/Andes of Argentina. Or Switzerland. If domestic, Yosemite National Park or British Columbia.
Do you think you could live with me forever?
Mary: As you said when we got married, "These rings are like tiny handcuffs."
Jordan's answer: That's what the contract says.
How do I annoy you?
Mary: You sometimes come and mess with me while I'm cooking, which I hate because I'm too spastic to be trusted not to horribly injure myself. But my big one is BEARD CLIPPINGS IN THE SINK.
Jordan's answer: I'm grouchy when I'm tired/hungry, I hate traffic, I don't sit-still-and-not-do-things very well.
What is your favorite thing about me?
Mary: You are kind and tender-hearted despite your acerbic wit and attempts at looking callous sometimes. Hehe! And your height.
Jordan's answer: Hopefully my personality or something along those lines. Also, I'm tall(ish).
HA! Hope you enjoyed this goofiness. Try it out on your spouse or girlfriend/boyfriend - it's actually kind of hysterical.
Happy Thursday!
