How many times while I'm home for Christmas do you think I'll either be asked if I have a boyfriend, why I don't have a boyfriend, and/or just someone asking if I'm dating anyone.
The person who guesses the closest number without going over will win a prize.
Some background: this subject always comes up. ALWAYS.
Who needs a boyfriend when you have US?
My guess is 10. I hope it isn't that many but I know how families can be.
ReplyDeleteI'm putting my money on 6. Although if you say "I'm not seeing any boooooooys" and then wink, that'll shut them up.
ReplyDelete8. I think you should shave your head and talk about you "partner" a lot. People suck, the last 4 years was always "when are you going to have a baby" and such. That blew.
ReplyDeletehaha, i love Kara's answer!
ReplyDeleteDo "dating anybody" and "have a boyfriend" count as different entries? How many family members will you be seeing?
ReplyDeleteI think you should either go with Kara's answer, or tell them you're seeing dozens of guys each night, and the money is great. Maybe that will cause some excitement in the family get together?
ReplyDeleteI am going to go with 11.
ReplyDeleteYes, each mention counts as a new entry. I'll be seeing mom, stepdad, dad, stepmom, 2 grandmas, grandpa, 2 aunts, 2 uncles, 3 cousins. I think that's it...
ReplyDeleteSo that's 14 family members!
HMMMM How bout 12?
ReplyDeleteIm gonna guess 7.
ReplyDeleteNo one picked 9...I'll go with that! Fun game :D
ReplyDeleteaww that sucks. My sister is single and it is non stop. She even got asked recently if she ever considered becoming a nun! Poor girl, she's only 25!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to go with 9 as I'm sure that will be close the number of times we will be asked when we are going to pop out some kids. It never ends!!!
Wait, how many days will you be home? My guess is 14 and I didn't check if anyone else uessed that, so sorry if someone beat me to it!
ReplyDeleteI'm single and just found out my younger sister got engaged. Le sigh. I'm so happy for her but now all the relationship questions will be directed to single-ole me. Alas.
Okay I will go with 13.. and I think Kara and Vanessa gave you awesome comebacks!
ReplyDeleteHmmm, I had 14 in my head too but others have said that.......you didn't give us ages of your family members but with 2 grandmas & a grandpa, I think your chances of being asked increase 2x's since they likely won't remember asking you the last time. So I say 19. Can the prize be a Christmas Noodle Hugger???
ReplyDeleteDon't worry if you pick the same number as someone else. If it ends up being the winning number, all who guessed it will win a prize :)
ReplyDeleteWill you actually be counting? I'm going to go with 9er.
ReplyDeleteO hey, Emily. Are you seeing anyone?
ReplyDeleteHehe... that's 1!
My guess is 8! Hope not though, for your sake.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to go with 5 hoping your family is the kind that sends one person to ask and then discusses things amongst themselves without everyone asking the same thing over and over and over. Luckily we aren't seeing extended family or I'd be doing a contest to see how many people will ask about babies!
ReplyDeleteCan I guess somewhere between 1 through 14?
ReplyDelete10. Dogs are better than boyfriends anyday.
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna guess 18. But I hope I'm not right.
ReplyDeleteIf it's any consolation, I got the question allll day on christmas ugh
