Have You Ever....

Remember that game as a kid where you had to stand or sit in a circle and someone in the middle says "have you ever (insert something you have done)?" and if you have done it you had to get up and switch seats with everyone else who had also done it. If you didn't get a seat, you had to stand in the middle and say "have you ever.....?" I loved that game. The worst part of it was all the kids would try to find the most exciting or amazing thing they had ever done, and it usually was somewhere they had traveled. I almost always had to get up and move. "Have you ever been to New York!" Sarah gets up and moves. "Have you ever been to Florida!" Sarah gets up and moves. "Have you ever been to Hawaii!" Sarah gets up and oh guess what, she's the only one up. Now I'm stuck in the middle cuz the only other kid who has been to Hawaii is in the middle already. Now it's my turn, so keeping in trend I say something like "Have you ever been to France!" No one moves. grrrrrrrr

Anyway, that's not really the point of this post, although it is kinda funny. The point of this post is to ask my readers some "have you ever" questions!! I will ask the question and then explain the story of how it happened to me!

-Have you ever gotten sun poisoning?

I did the summer of 2004. I went to South Carolina to visit Nathan in June and we went to Isle of Palms for a day. Neither of us wore sunscreen the WHOLE day and the next day I was burned to a crisp and sooooo sick all I could do was sit on the couch and moan in pain and nausea. It sucked. The upside was that when the burn turned brown I looked FANTASTIC! :)

-Have you ever read another religion's book (like the Koran or the Book of Mormon) just because you wanted to know what it said?

I found a copy of the Book of Mormon next to a Gideon Bible in a hotel room once and I took it with me and read it because I wanted to know what it said. I won't give a book report of it though.

-Have you ever been told you were a crappy parent?

I was told by a complete stranger in the mall that I was a crappy parent for giving Derek formula. *eye roll*

-Have you ever pretended you aren't very hungry while a guest at someone else's house because you seriously don't like what was for dinner? You would rather have gone hungry till breakfast than eat it?

I can't tell you whose house I was at, but the food was laden with things I hate. There were just too many elements to pick out so I pretended I wasn't hungry at all. Then I made Nathan go through a drive through on the way home cuz I was ravenous! He thought it was hilarious.

Okay guys, now it's your turn to answer!!!!! (At least you don't have to worry about getting stuck in the middle!)

  1. I've read parts of the Koran. I actually bought it in Chicago at a Muslim book store. And I do pretend I'm not hungry when I can't stand the food. Or I say that it makes me sick (things like pork/ham legitimately make me ill, so it's the truth). I believe I loose weight every time I go to Maine...

  2. I don't think I have ever played that game.
    I dunno if I got sun poisoning but I was burnt to a crisp bc I laid out with friends but they lay out to tan all the time and I dont. They were also spraying themselves with water and I thought, what the heck, I'll do it too. OOOOOOPS! It was so painful!

    I have never read another religion's book, but it sounds interesting. I am almost currious about it.

    I kinda was told I was a crappy parent, and good grief, that person should have been slapped. I would have said 'excuse me' and who knows what else, that urks me. I am sorry they did that to you.

    I have said I wasn't hungry before, but I don't remember the last time I did.

    Thanks Sarah, that was fun!
