Grace and I are very similar, both rather passionate and emotional&#8211;which means we also tend to butt heads on occasion.<\/p>\n<p>3) Has she ever cooked for you?<\/p>\n<p>I believe she has-on many occasions, I&#8217;m sure, but I&#8217;m remembering a hamburger and pasta dish at my house. She cooks on occasion, but has mentioned that she feels that every time she cooks something a certain one of our brothers &#8220;one-ups&#8221; her by cooking something similar (only better, in her mind).<\/p>\n<p>4) Does she have a nickname for you?<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s a good question-I&#8217;m not sure? Grace? Help me out here!<\/p>\n<p>5) How many times do you talk to this person during a week?<\/p>\n<p>It depends. Sometimes several times, sometimes never. We live at a distance and I&#8217;m not much of a phone person. But we enjoy talking whenever I&#8217;m home or she&#8217;s up here, and we share the occasional text or Facebook conversation. Grace also knows that if she ever wants to talk with me about something, she can post it on <a href=\"http:\/\/gracebug.menterz.com\" target=\"_blank\">her blog<\/a>, of which I am a faithful reader and commenter.<\/p>\n<p>6) Have you ever had a sleepover with this person?<\/p>\n<p>Once upon a time, Grace slept on a rollaway bed in the school room. Then Anna and I stole her to live with us in our room. She probably will experience lasting dysfunctional sleep patterns for having spent her preschool and elementary years sharing a bedroom (and often a bed) with her teenaged sisters. Now, we have the boring sort of sleepovers, where she comes to stay at my house overnight because that maximizes time together when there&#8217;s an hour and a half drive to be made to get together.<\/p>\n<p>7) Would you date this person\u2019s siblings?<\/p>\n<p>Absolutely not. Unlike some siblings of mine, I do not date my siblings&#8217; siblings.<a href=\"2012\/20120107-8545.htm#footnote\">*<\/a><\/p>\n<p>8) When is the next time you will see this person?<\/p>\n<p>Next Thursday, at her show choir concert (in which she has a solo part-You go girl!)<\/p>\n<p>Grace blogs at <a href=\"http:\/\/gracebug.menterz.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">A Teen Girl&#8217;s Mind<\/a>. There, she shares, well, what&#8217;s on her mind. Generally, it&#8217;s angsty, emotionally-charged philosophical-political-high-school-drama-filled stuff. (Which I realize may not be your cup of tea. Fine with me, but I love her bunches and always enjoy interacting with her about what she&#8217;s written.)<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"footnote\">*<\/a> A so-thinly-it&#8217;s-not-even-veiled reference to my brother, who is dating our sister-in-law&#8217;s sister.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My little sister Grace recently posted a meme that asked a whopping 81 questions about someone you know.
