We all believe that we are the
C R E A T O R S
of our own W o r l d s. . .
UNTIL WE ARE NOT. . .
It was one of my favorite games
usually played in the back seat of our family car
on long or even not so long
T R I P S. . .
For the lack of a better name
we just called it
W O U L D Y O U R A T H E R
and it went like this:
WOULD YOU RATHER BE AN ELEPHANT OR A MOUSE ?
WOULD YOU RATHER BE A MOTHER OR A FATHER ?
WOULD YOU RATHER BE A RAINDROP OR A SNOWFLAKE?
WOULD YOU RATHER BE A LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD OR A GOLDILOCKS ?
WOULD YOU RATHER BE A FARM ANIMAL OR A FISH ?
WOULD YOU RATHER BE A HOT OR COLD ?
WOULD YOU RATHER WORK OR PLAY ?
WOULD YOU RATHER EAT SPINACH OR LIVER ?
WOULD YOU RATHER SING OR DANCE ?
WOULD YOU RATHER RIDE ON A TRAIN OR A PLANE ?
WOULD YOU RATHER WATCH A MOVIE OR A PLAY ?
WOULD YOU RATHER EAT ICE CREAM OR CAKE ?
WOULD YOU RATHER IT WAS CHRISTMAS OR HANUKKAH OR YOUR BIRTHDAY ?
WOULD YOU RATHER LIVE IN AN IGLOO OR A TEPEE ?
WOULD YOU RATHER BE BITTEN BY AN ALLIGATOR OR A SHARK ?
WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE GUM ON YOUR SHOES OR DOG POO ?
WOULD YOU RATHER GET ELECTROCUTED OR SHOT ?
WOULD YOU RATHER BURN TO DEATH OR DROWN ?
. . .the WOULD YOU RATHERS
are endless and you might have come up with a few yourselves
(PLEASE SHARE_______________________________________________)
AND THEN THERE’S ALWAYS:
WOULD YOU RATHER LOVE FIERCELY OR BE LOVED FIERCELY ?
WOULD YOU RATHER GET OR GIVE ?
WOULD YOU RATHER MAKE A DIFFERENCE OR BE MADE A DIFFERENCE ?
WOULD YOU RATHER BE KIND OR BE KIND’ED
WOULD YOU RATHER BE COMPASSIONATE OR COMPASSION’ED
WOULD YOU RATHER THE WORLD BE COVID OR HATE FREE
WOULD YOU RATHER BE. . .

THE REALEST OF THE REALEST
YOU
THE WORLD MOST DEFINITELY
NEEDS YOU TO BE
b e c a u s e
Sometimes we don’t actually know
what we can
D O
until we
D O
what we didn’t know
we could. . .
or would you rather. . . ?

Love me my Erin; ‘thank you’ are the cheapest words I could ever express but they come from the bottom of my heart.
Cathy Nichols says
Recently did this with a group who was complaining about 2020. “What year would you rather be in? Why?”
ChuckBehrens says
WHAT A GREAT, WOULD YOU RATHER version of a game…I bet it brought some great responses and even better, REASONS why. Thanks, Miss Cathy. You’re the Best!
