Q: If you had to cook a meal to impress someone, what would you make?

Q: What superpower would you pick and why? 

A: Teleportation because I wouldn’t need to buy a plane ticket, I could just teleport somewhere nice on a weekend and then wouldn’t even have to pay for a hotel. I could teleport back to my bed to sleep for the night.

Q: Imagine it’s 2047 and you have teenage kids of your own. What advice would you give your 40(ish)-year-old self about being a good parent?

A: I suppose my advice to myself would be to not have hurt feelings if they don’t want to spend as much time with you and to give your kids space. I can imagine I would want them to spend time with me but teens do require more space and it doesn’t mean they don’t like you.
