My youngest fell off one of our bar stools this week and hit her head on the tile floor – again. She was fine, but she looked really woozy. I asked her to tell me her name. No response. I asked her how old she was. No response. Then I asked her her favorite color. She quickly responded, “Pink … and purple.” She was fine. The girl nearly knocked herself unconscious by rough-housing on the bar stool (like I’ve told her not to a million times) but she still knows a few of her favorite things.

On another unrelated tangent, I’ve noticed many of my Facebook friends have entered the great toilet paper debate of 2009. Should you place a new roll under or over? Who knows? Who cares? But then you think, all of these smaller, unconscious preferences say a lot about who we are.

If you can answer the following 20 things about yourself without hesitating first to provide complete honesty, you can tell a lot about who you are. It’s a great tool in dating and it’s also a fun way to see how much someone knows about you. So give it a try with someone you love, or someone you might want to fall in love with. My kids even love it. Here are 20 to get you started:

1.       Chocolate or vanilla?

2.       Cake or cookies?

3.       Movies: Happy Gilmore or Austin Powers?

4.       Music: Madonna or Britney?

5.       Beach or mountains?

6.       SUV or convertible?

7.       Save or spend?

8.       Early to rise or night owl?

9.       Wallflower or life of the party?

10.   Rather watch NFL or NBA?

11.   Rather play basketball or football?

12.   “Jon & Kate Plus 8” or “8 is Enough?”

13.   Beef or chicken?

14.   Toothpaste: Squeeze from the top or the bottom?

15.   Facebook or MySpace?

16.   Coke or Pepsi?

17.   East Coast or West Coast?

18.   Republican or Democrat?

19.   Colors: Earth tones or brights?

20.   Toilet paper: over or under?
