Saturday Night
- I really don't remember the last time we went out on a Saturday night. Especially now that speech is in full swing, I'm happy to just be able to come home and crash on Saturday night. We have gone to a few ball games. Last weekend my parents visited, so they played with LO, and I actually fixed dinner. Amazing, I know.
But if I were to go out, I suppose I would shower, get dressed, make an effort with makeup & hair, and go out to eat. If we wanted to get fancy, we might do dinner and a show. Pretty sure we need to do this again soon. Hopefully sometime before prom.
- I'm already pretty amazing as a regular person, so I'm pretty sure my superhero-ness wouldn't change much. In fact, I'd probably be something like Clark Kent and work a regular job. Now, if I had my choice, I would be like Bruce Wayne and have lots of money so I spent my day as a philanthropist--seriously, how awesome would that be to just spend your days giving away money to people. I would love to have that kind of money. Maybe that would be my super power--just giving away boat loads of money to those who truly needed it.
- Well, if I take this from my husband's perspective, I would need an extra hour to get ready. This is the reason why: I would have only about 20 minutes to actually get ready, but the extra time would be to tell my wife that I was getting ready when in all actuality I am downstairs in the man zone playing video games. The game is not important, as long as you can play online and say "at the end of this game I'll get in the shower". In all reality, men usually can get ready quicker than women because they don't have all the extra accoutrements.
- I would, by gender stereotyping, be Lois because she's the mom. I'm pretty sure I would not do some of the things that she does, as they create craziness for the sake of her character. However, the fact that she cares about her family (for the most part) is probably important. Why she would have married a dumb guy is beyond me. Obviously if I were her, I'd spend my day out of the house so I could be away from the baby that wants to kill me and the obnoxious children; Chris with the psycho monkey in his closet and Meg with all of her odd tendencies. I'd also spend the day away to make money since Peter obviously spends tons on his antics.
- I'd be like a classic poodle skirt girl from the 50's. I'm pretty sure since they didn't have all of the extra hair product and stuff, I'd probably spend my getting ready time inventing things to make my life easier. I think I'd have to learn to iron, since everything back then was nicely pressed. I probably wouldn't have gotten along so well then. However, some of the music was starting to be okay. In fact, many of our influences today got their start back then. They did have pretty good beginnings of socialization then, so going out with friends would be okay.
- Abby Cadabby would be a great character to be. However, I think she uses her powers at night for different things. I'm not saying she is a "lady of the night" but she practices all of the good tricks, not just the lame-o ones she shows on the program. I'm pretty sure since Sesame Street is pretty small and jam packed with people I would rarely be able to go somewhere without bumping into others from "the street." One definite advantage to being a muppet is you never have to prep yourself, as your predefined stuffed image is already molded. How easy!
