The door bell rings. Seeing as I'm the host of the new game show "Opportunity Knocks", I'm the one ringing the door bell. A 15 year old girl answers the door in dance shorts and a tank top, the usual attire, and questions why I, her own brother, am standing outside with a film crew and a large bus behind me. I give her a big cheesy smile and say "Opportunity is knocking! Well, it rang this time. Never the less, it's time to make our family rich!"

My sister skips into my parent's bedroom and urges them to frolic with her into the living room (because my family likes to frolic). I let them know that they're the newest contestants on the newest #1 game show around. Upon hearing the glorious news they sat down, eagerly anticipating the first question. Little did they know, I had about 20 different kinds of smoke hidden up my sleeve. What kind of smoke, you ask? Well, here's the list of questions I have prepared. I'll let you in, but only you.

1. Who was my first girlfriend? I had a promiscuous childhood up until around the fourth grade. So, in all likelihood, this could be a tough one to answer. However, the family still keeps in touch with this girl, so it's certainly a fair question. Ah, the glory days of being three years old.

2. How many times has my little sister slapped me in our lifetimes? This is an interesting question, and I may be the only one that even remembers the two instances. It's a vicious slap, too. I'm lucky to have only made her THAT angry twice in 15 years, let me tell you.

3. What is the total number of C's showed up on a report card of mine throughout grade school? I was traditionally a straight-A student, so my parents eventually became a little apathetic to each 6-weeks as far as my grades were concerned. For the record, it was 2. Once in Spanish. Once in Algebra 2.

4. What is my worst fear? Cliche, yes. But it should be universally known that my number one fear starts with a g and ends with an erms. I'm the ultimate clean freak, and I wouldn't have it any other way. It'd be interesting, though, to see if my family would attempt to over think this.

Takeaways
  • I give her a big cheesy smile and say "Opportunity is knocking!"
  • ...the newest #1 game show around.
