Tough Decisions...

Alright kids, here is the scenario. I asked you a few months back a very thought provoking question: Is it a greater flaw to be too compassionate, or too competitive? If I recall correctly, your answers...failed to answer the question (though we did have some solid dialogue). We were talking about another quandry in the office a few weeks back, and now I want to pose the moral dilemma to you. Your feedback, as usual, will probably be great.

Here's the question: If you had to punch either your 10 year old brother in the face, or your own mother in the face, who would you punch and why?

I know, I know it's a morbid question and dimes to dollars says that Heidi, Jen, and Amanda all say "Oh my WORD Andrew that's HORRIBLE!!!" with that exact same inflection. But keep in mind it's JUST hypothetical. So what's the verdict, people?

(Anon I know you're still out there and whether or not this validates your comments a few posts back, you still need to answer this one too. And answers like "Whichever one I can't convince to be a closet socialist and clinical cynical finger pointer" are not really answering the question)

You are correct, Anon! The question posed is a ludicrous one, and ludicrous by design. It's set up so that the uptight blog reader can have a fleeting moment of levity in a day otherwise consumed by demanding schedules.

I would not assume that someone of such intelligence as yourself would presume to answer the question. But the fact that you continually digest the 'moments of levity' contained herein might be testament to the fact that even the most ardent critic of all things 'idiotic' needs to take a break from her often excessively critical mentalities. Maybe your negative comments are reaction formation to cover up the fact that you love this mindless stuff. For whatever reason you continually take time out of your very important timetables and agendas to let me know how meaningless these blogs are, your comments are appreciated nonetheless. Seriously!

I personally would probably hit my little brother, and I would guess you would do the same Anon. Right?

I'm not going to lie, I think I'd hit my brother. His bone structure is much more capable of taking the blow than my Mother's. I'm totally crushing him, but he's a dude, and he's going to get him many more times by me. My Mother on the other hand is more delicate, and not ready for a roundhouse to the face. I totally hit my brother, and when he's down, I kick him too.

How about that for some brotherly love?

I would hit my brother, without a doubt. I refuse to hit a woman... until I'm married! Then it's going to be a battle royale with me and the Mrs., Errday.
On a more serious note, I wrote a little sumn sumn for ya face:

So Andrew Smith's gotta girl and she's up in his head, And you wanna punch your mom but son you'll soon be dead, 'cause Anon's a socialist and she's got plans like Stalin, to socialize our heads and the ladies we ballin' with when we're CRUUUUNNNK

i break my silence for a moment: andrew...are you fallin for a girl?! such fabulous news! :)

as for hitting my mom or my brother? Honestly andrew...anyone who hits their mom is going to hell. Period. There's no contest. I would hit my brother in a second. He didn't give go through 23 hours of labor (yeah that's right...stubborn right from the beginning.) and he didn't give me the gift of life or put up with raising me. (let me tell you! God bless my poor mother!) He only had to live with me for 18 years...whaaaa...plus I had to live with him. Hands down, my brother would get it right across the face. Besides...to be COMPLETELY honest, it wouldn't be the first! Much love to my cute, sweet, incredibly adorable conservative mom! (plus i need to make it up to her that I'm a "raging liberal city girl." I guess I'm a disappointment ;) ) ha ha ha....ok...back to my seculusion now...bye boys!
