(By the way, you too would take tons of Facebook quizzes if you found yourself struggling to stay awake in the middle of the night with a baby in your arms and a smart phone in your hand.)
Today's quiz was Which State Should You Live In? (California--a result I would like to officially dispute). These quizzes are quite silly, and I usually roll my eyes at the questions and my choices. This one particular question had me stumped for a full two-and-a-half minutes though:
Um...I am not "comfortable" confronting ANY of those (especially with my horrible night vision)! I'm sure probably no one is, but I found myself seriously weighing which of these awful choices was the best. How fast are alligators? Can I outrun one? Are grizzly bears fast? Can I outrun one of THOSE? (Note to self: start running for exercise.) Would either an alligator or grizzly bear chase me for no good reason (I hate being chased!)? Is an alligator or a grizzly bear more dumb? Am I smarter than either of them? I knew "mugger" was the last thing I would choose (hence the reason "New York" was not my test result).
I ended up choosing grizzly bear. I suppose the fact that alligators slither is what ultimately turned me off. And choosing the bear is probably what sealed my fate. I mean, there's a bear sewn on the California flag for crying out loud.

I got California, too! Not cool. I also was terrified by that question -- I ended up choosing mugger though even though all the choices give me a bit of anxiety!
Hope all is well in DC and hope to see y'all next time you're in Texas! xo!
I'd totally chose a mugger! I think I could shoot a human mugger easier than I could a cute grizzly bear....and I'm not sure how successful shooting an alligator would be....hmm. Texas would be my state, with a gun on my hip, outside, alone in the middle of the night!
Anxiety for sure!
We are doing well -- I hope you're great too! We will be in Texas -- New Branfels -- in August, so maybe we can arrange a get together!
I guess I assumed I was going to be unarmed...in that case, I also might have chosen mugger! But, unlike you, I wouldn't let the cuteness of a grizzly bear get to me. I'm afraid my gun would be no match for a grizzly, and an alligator would be too slithery and sneaky for me to shoot to defend myself...heck, I still feel anxious trying to decide!
