My H is the KING of these types of questions! I wish I had written them down so that I could give you, like, a year's supply of them and wouldn't you look like a queen.
These questions seem to be an escape for him...QT with a really fun twist..dreaming with a little escapist fantasy thrown in.
Ok, here goes:
If you could live in one place anywhere on earth, where would it be and why?
If you could only eat one nation's food for the rest of your life, what would it be?
What does your dream house look like? Can you draw a picture of the layout?
What period of time would you like to live in?
If you won the lottery, (pick any ol astronomical figure) how would you divide the money? How much to family and friends? What would be the first place you went? Would you ever come back?
What is your ultimate Christmas present?
What is the best meal you've ever eaten?
What was the best Christmas present ever received?
Did you have a favorite teacher?
ETC ETC.
Yes we've gone over most of these, several times, as he forgets which ones he's already asked.
I've learned a lot about him with his 'questions'. I think the key is that the scenarios are ridiculously happy and fun. Sometimes he would try things like, If a bear was attacking you, what would you do? but my sissy-girl tendencies got in the way and those never turned out that well.
Oh and since S sounds an awful lot like H, personality wise, I will tell you something else he likes: When I tell him a story that he's never heard before, about me. I make sure to bring out my best storyteller voice and make it worth his while. He especially likes childhood stories, as opposed to "Once when I was right out of college, I went to a bar and and had one too many kamikazes and THEN....." LOL It is the novelty..learning something new about me and telling me something new about him that he likes.
Good luck; I'm keeping tabs on you because I had an October baby last year so you automatically win points with me for that reason. Hang in there; I remember all too clearly how it felt this time last year. Right now, my walking and talking baby is coming up to me and giving me a big smile so there are lots of wonderful things in your future.
