Weird quizzes, you say? Lord have mercy, I seen a lot of things in my time, but these quizzes, they just something else. Young folks spendin’ their time on these things. Back in my day, we didn’t have no internet, no fancy phones. We made our own fun. But these weird quizzes, they got all kinds of questions. Silly questions, if you ask me.
I seen one the other day, somethin’ about what kind of food you are. Can you believe that? What kind of food you are! I’m a person, not a tater tot. These online quizzes, they got folks thinkin’ all kinds of nonsense. Another one said, “Did you ruin everything?” My goodness, that’s a question for a priest or a shrink, not one of these quizzes. These young people, they should be outside, gettin’ fresh air, not takin’ these weird quizzes.
- What kind of bread are you?
- What kind of fruit are you?
- What color is your aura? Lord, my aura is probably just tired.
I reckon some folks find ’em fun. Like them puzzle books, I guess. But these weird quizzes, they ask some personal things. Like they tryin’ to get in your head. I seen one, said it could tell you the name of your next sweetheart. Based on what you eat at McDonald’s! Now, I like a good hamburger as much as the next person, but I don’t think it’s gonna tell me who I’m gonna marry. That’s just plain silly. That is one of unusual quiz questions.
My granddaughter, she loves these things. She’s always on her phone, clickin’ away. “Grandma,” she says, “you gotta try this quiz!” I tell her, “Honey, I got better things to do than take some quiz that tells me what kind of cheese I am.” These weird quizzes keep them entertained. It’s a different world now, I suppose. Back in my day, we had chores to do. We didn’t have time for this foolishness. The things is bizarre quiz questions.
They got quizzes about everything, these weird quizzes. What kind of animal are you? What kind of job should you have? One even asked if you was a good person or a bad person. I don’t need no computer tellin’ me if I’m good or bad. My conscience does a pretty good job of that already, thank you very much. And these trivia questions, they call them? Some of them are just plain strange. Who cares about the bicycle thing in Seattle, I tell ya.
I remember one time, my granddaughter was takin’ one of these weird quizzes, and it told her she was a sunflower. She was so happy. “Grandma, I’m a sunflower!” she said. I just smiled and nodded. To each their own, I guess. But I still think it’s a silly way to spend your time. These quizzes take up time that people could use for doing something useful. It is amazing trivia, I guess.
- Are you a good person?
- What kind of animal are you? That’s a strange one.
- What’s your destiny? My destiny is probably to just get older.
Now, I’m not sayin’ all these weird quizzes are bad. Some of ’em are just for fun, I reckon. Like them ones that tell you what kind of pizza you are. That’s harmless enough, I suppose. But some of ’em, they just seem a little too personal, a little too nosy. This generation always share too much on the internet. I don’t trust a quiz that says it knows your soulmate from your choice of McDonald’s. It’s just weird internet stuff.
I guess if it makes folks happy, then it ain’t all bad. But I still think there are better ways to spend your time. Like readin’ a good book, or talkin’ to your family, or just sittin’ on the porch and watchin’ the world go by. These weird quizzes, they just a fad. They’ll come and go, like everything else. It’s all just lighthearted fun, I suppose.
But me? I’ll stick to my crossword puzzles and my soap operas, thank you very much. I don’t need no computer tellin’ me what kind of vegetable I am or what my future holds. My future will be what it will be, and no weird quiz is gonna change that. Maybe I am just too old for this kind of things. I don’t understand why these young people want to waste time on it. Maybe I will ask my granddaughter to show me how to do these weird quizzes. Maybe I will know more about it.
