1) What is the worst thing you've ever said to your mother? Wild horses couldn't drag it out of me, I'll not repeat it! (don't you remember the soap in the mouth?)
2) If you could have avoided knowing about one thing during your life, what would it be, and why? Knowledge is power - I would like to know less about tragedies in this world if it would mean there are in fact fewer tragedies.
3) What is the strongest part of your marriage/partnership? Giving in to each other and being open and vulnerable to each other.
4) What would your heaven be like? As the old song says "Joy unspeakable and full of glory" - I like Revelations 7:16,17
"Never again will they hunger; never again will they thirst. The sun will not beat upon them, nor any scorching heat. For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; he will lead them to springs of living water. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."
5) Show and Tell. What comes to mind first when you see this picture? Or, tell a story if it reminds you of one.
O! Mr Porcupine, what is that you see
to bristle, stare, gruffly speak, and display
your quills for me?
O! Mr Porcupine, we're minding our way
you're allowed to observe or even be involved
in your favorite way.
O! Mr Porcupine, you remind me of me
quick to get defensive, hackles up, posturing
or turn to run behind a tree.
O! Mr Porcupine, it is surely fair to say
you'll need a friend, so relax and smile
and friends will come your way.

that porpupoem is excellent. especially the 3rd verse, reminds me of me too...
truly, if one can reach that space in a relationship you describe, what can go wrong...
i also believe what you don't know cannot hurt/affect you, so your statement there MUST have some truth to it...
love your answers this week. i'm kinda out of sync today, i'll attempt creativity tomorrow....
Why did Mr Porcupine have a difficult time at the car dealership?
"Sticker" Shock!
More porcupine jokes, anyone?
What did near sighted Mr Porcupine say when he bumped into the cactus?
"Pardon me sweetheart, that's a lovely green outfit"
Great answers and a wonderful poem! I agree with you on #2.
I'm cracking up about the soap in the mouth--never had that happen, thank goodness!
I also love those verse from Rev. It's about the only part of the book that doesn't freak me completely out!
Unfortunately, I know no porcupine jokes, but I did like your paean.
