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

She would say “Be safe and watch out for scary characters”. Honestly, she hinks that joining those types of organizations are worse than joining the Military because there might be more sketchy people.

If you decided to live out of a van?

Laugh at me because I can't drive

If you chose to move to a different continent?

I feel like she’d be really nonchalant about it and also maybe encouraging. I definitely know for a fact that she won’t come visit me unless it’s a place she really wants to visit. She’d probably call to check up on me a lot though (if she’s not angry with me that is).

If you dated someone their age?

Probably be very freaked out.

If you bought a caravan and decided to go touring the country?

They would probably be upset and try to convince me not to.

If you had a child right now?

Probably not believe it, because she’d be surprised I was having sex Then once she was certain I’m not just joking, she’d probably give me some cold hard facts about how hard it is going to be to raise a kid at this point in my life.

If you changed your first name?

My dad would kill me because he picked it and he thinks it's the greatest name since sliced bread. Besides, he's nicknamed me Wiki (because I'm full of useless knowledge) and that doesn't work unless you have Victoria shortened to Vikki.

If you got into a fistfight?

Probably laugh at me for losing and tell me what I should have done.

If you went to another country without telling them or contacting them for a long period of time?

Kill me. They wouldn't mind me going but they'd kill me if I didn't tell them.

If you painted your room black?

Probably ask me if I’m ok and then proceed to say I have the devil all over me.

What would they do if you adopted a different culture than theirs?

They genuinely wouldn't care. I was raised by parents from two different religions / cultures anyway, so they always brought me up to be my own person and live my life the way I want to, provided I wasn't breaking the law.

If you advised them you were going to start your own business?

Encourage me! My mum thinks it would be one of the smarter options for my line of work.

If you enrolled in university to become a dentist?

Probably be really happy bc I might actually make some money if I finish lol

If you became a nudist?

Be a bit surprised!

If you brought home people for one night stands somewhat regularly?

They wouldn’t say anything at first, but then after awhile they’d tell me to stop lol or make snide comments.

If you left your child with them and didn’t plan on coming back?

Probably hunt me down and give it back.

If you married a stripper?

Hopefully not care.

If you never wore sunscreen?

Honestly, they don't care. They don't even wear it themselves.

If you were to convert to a different religion?

Similar to my culture answer above - they probably wouldn't care / support me. I rejected both of their religions outright and they didn't mind so I guess they'd be fine with me being another. My extended family would mind a lot (especially my mum's side) but my actual parents would be cool with it, I imagine.

If you quit your job to pursue a career as a musician?

Tell me to get my job back because I can’t sing or play an instrument, but will support my delusion for a little while but then say, “I told you the truth, but you didn’t want to listen to me. So, I just let you do it” when I crash and burn.

If you got kidnapped for ransom in a foreign country?
