Questions for young women
These are questions I want to ask young women. There’s no logic or reason to them. A female New Zealand English teacher at a high school where I also work solicits questions from her students and posts her hand-written answers on a bulletin board in the hallway. So as a lark I anonymously stuffed her question basket with my own off-the-wall queries.
My list is a ruse, actually. In fact there is one question in particular I am interested in but I have tried to disguise it among a diversity that is meant to be distracting.
1. Are you a Beatles person or a Rolling Stones person?
2. Coca-Cola or Pepsi?
3. What is your worst nightmare?
4. What posters were on your high school bedroom wall?
5. Can you play a musical instrument?
6. Did you ever break up with a boy?
7. If you were an animal what animal would you be?
8. What did you want to be when you were a little girl?
