LOL!
A few days ago Bob and I took the kids shopping with us. Bob and Jon went to peruse the hardware section. They needed to get some wood stain and such for a project they were working on. CJ went to the sports section of the store, while Erin and Manda made their way to grocery aisles ahead of me.
Manda has been shopping for and cooking up her own meals lately. She’s only twelve, but she has insisted upon doing this as a learning experience. Hey, she’s spending her chore money to buy her own food, so I’m cool with that. [smile] Actually, I’m rather proud of her.
Anyway, that left Gloria and me to do the grocery shopping for the family. Gloria asked if she could ride on the back of the cart and I agreed as long as she kept a hold of the handle. So, I grabbed the front of the cart and pulled her along. As we approached the end of an aisle, we cruised past one of the frozen meat sections and Gloria said:
“Stacy, what is that kind of poultry that likes to tease people?”
Perplexed, I pondered that question for all of three seconds before I said, “I’m not certain I understand your question, Gloria. A chicken that likes to tease people? Hmmm… I dunno.”
“Oh! I know what it is,” Gloria suddenly exclaimed, “It’s a Poultrygeist!”
I laughed. I just couldn’t help it. I didn’t care how many onlookers thought I had lost my marbles. That was funny!
I love that girl! 9 year olds are so much fun.

Now add up the total number of points.
OVER 60 POINTS: Others see you as someone they should handle with care. You’re seen as vain, self-centered, and as one who is extremely dominant. Others may admire you, wishing they could be more like you, but don’t always trust you. Often, others hesitate to become too deeply involved with you.
51 TO 60 POINTS: Others see you as an exciting, highly volatile, rather impulsive personality; a natural leader who’s quick to make decisions, though not always the right ones. They see you as bold and adventuresome, someone who will try anything once; someone who takes chances and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the excitement you radiate.
41 TO 50 POINTS: Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing, practical, and always interesting; someone who’s constantly in the center of attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go to their head. They also see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who’ll always cheer them up and help them out.
31 TO 40 POINTS: Others see you as sensible, cautious, careful and practical. They see you as clever, gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or easily, but someone who’s extremely loyal to the friends you do make, and one who expects the same loyalty in return. Those who really get to know you realize it takes a lot to shake your trust in your friends, but equally, that it takes you a long time to get over a trust that has been broken.
21 TO 30 POINTS: Your friends see you as painstaking and fussy. They see you as very cautious, extremely careful; a slow and steady plodder. It would really surprise them if you ever did something impulsively or on the spur of the moment, expecting you to examine everything carefully from every angle and then usually decide against it. They think this reaction is caused partly by your careful nature.
UNDER 21 POINTS: People think you are shy, nervous, and indecisive; someone who needs looking after, who always wants someone else to make the decisions, and who doesn’t want to get involved with anyone or anything! They see you as a worrier who always sees problems that don’t exist. Some people think you’re boring. Only those who know you well know that you aren’t.
