What would your mom (or dad) do if...?

I pretty much did that for six months. My mum tried to persuade me out of it at first, but both of my parents eventually agreed it would be good for me.

If you put a trampoline outside your bedroom window and jumped down onto it?

I wouldn't be able to do that because beneath my window is a rose bush and a fence so

Disown me for sure. My mum gets serious road rage at tractors so I don't think she'd be down with me trading her precious Astra in for a tractor.

If you came in with multiple new face piercings?

Pull them out right then

If you never came home for two days without warning?

If you told them that you were running away to become a Hobbit?

...Say something like, "I'm surprised it took this long."

Give me that "This is why I hate talking to you, you never take anything seriously" look.

Not take me seriously at first. But if I actually started doing it, my mom would get pissed and my dad would probably not care.

If you decided to go backpacking across the country for a few months?

They'd ask me if I have enough money to do that and if I do, they'd let me go.

If you told them you're marrying a guy you just met?

Laugh because they know my views on marriage.

If you threw up on their carpet?

Mom: Clean this up right now!
Dad: *just watches with his best poker face*

If you tell them you want to stop uni and pursue your dream career to be a professional magician?

I read this as musician and was going to say that that's what I study at uni then realised it was magician.

They'd probably just roll their eyes and tell me to keep at uni and do magician stuff after uni.

If you wanted to go outside dressed as a Christmas tree?

I'm sure they wouldn't think much of it. They wouldn't approve, but would pass it off as one of my weird things again.

If you painted every room in their house traffic cone orange?

Kill me. Legitimately. Murder me, stash me under the floorboards and pretend I never existed. Orange is my mum's least favourite colour and if I paint anything in this house, she'd go through me like a ton of bricks, whether it was orange or not.

If you decided to join an extremist group?

Definitely do her best to talk me out of it, cry.

If you surprised them and took them on a trip they've always wanted to go on?

Probably complain that I'm spending too much money on them. Nah, they'd probably be grateful but they'd definitely mention a million times that I spent too much, because they do that when I spend £30 on Christmas presents for each of them.

if you phoned them from jail asking them to post bail?

Bail me out, but they would definitely kick my ass for getting myself into that trouble.

If you told them you're joining a secret agency?

Roll their eyes. I've been telling them I'll join the CIA since I was like 11.

Announced you were joining a cult?

Just say okay considering I've been joking that I'm apart of a cult since I was a kid lmfao

If you joined a famous band and started touring?

My dad would be super-stoked and support me 100%. My mother would probably give me a lecture on all the illegal drugs she thinks I've never tried.

If you started communicating only in symbols?
