Queen of "What if"

As far back as I can remember, I can recall going through “What IF” scenarios in my head. When I was a preteen they were more representative of the past
  • What if my parents had lived?
  • What if I was shorter?

When I got to be a teenager the were more representative of the present

  • What if I joined the airforce?
  • What if I go to college?
  • What if I get married?
  • What if I drive this firetruck? (okay - I never thought that but maybe I should have)

Now I have Future

  • What if X child plays sports in college?
  • What if David dies?
  • What if the bird flu hits?
  • What if the rapture comes tomorrow?
  • What if I buy a Hummer? (that was random - but that is my world)

Zach and Co are GREAT "What ifers" but they have a whole new take on it. Recent ones include

  • What if dogs could talk? (My response: Instead of barking they would be yelling HEY HEY HEY HEY in the back yard.)
  • What if our car had wings and we could fly to school? (My response: Good luck on the first step out of the car when we got there... it's a long way down...brings new meaning to DROP OFF)
  • What if I was a professional Ball player? (My response: I better be driving a Hummer with a licence plate that says "ThxsMOM")
  • What if Trouble (the cat) and Connie (the dog) had babies? (UHHHHH - NO)
  • What if you and dad die? (You better hope you are still in the Will.)
  • What if we owned a rocket launcher? (Not much use without the rockets but I could plant something in it)

Hey - This one just hit me.... What if nobody reads my blog?
