With my diet soda, silver Ford, and Gaye on the radio in my Mini, I’m noshing or carrots while hustling down a windy road. My passenger, your mom, occasionally feeds me artichokes as she calls my curly-haired puppy on the phone. In between feedings, I call your little sister while she’s on her swingset. I explain to her that modern life is painted in black and white, but the city we approach, Rome, will always be white: Sea-bound resorts, served both muffins with BBC, spa-ing it up. I know you’re Skeptical. So, do me a favor: grab a popsicle, take a ride on the waterslide, and leave your prescription at the door, four-eyes.

Okay. This one looked fun too. It’s not like I have a mountain of work to do or anything.
Diet soda or regular? Neither. Even typing an answer in favor of any type of carbonation, be it diet or regular, will send me into severe gastric distress. This is the one and only time I’ll break the holy Choose Ye rules.
Gold or silver? Silver
Harrison Ford or Michael Caine? Michael Caine.
Al Green or Marvin Gaye? Al Green.
Volkswagen Beetle or Mini Cooper? Mini Cooper (but it must be old school like the “Purple Onion” my Papa had when I was a kid).
Celery or carrots? Carrots.
Winding road or highway into the sunset? Winding road.
“Your mom†jokes or knock knock jokes? Knock knock (but only because my kid is 4 and her knock knock jokes with their circular logic are hysterical).
Sundried tomato or artichoke heart? Tough one. Artichoke heart.
Kitten or puppy? Puppy. Achoo to the other one.
Email or phone call? Email.
Curly or straight? Straight.
Swingset or teeter-totter? Teeter-totter. Hurl to the other one.
Vintage or modern? Modern.
Wallpaper or paint? Paint.
Black and white, or colour? Colour.
Paris or Rome? Paris.
Picnic by the sea, or picnic in the park? By the sea.
Road Trip or All-Inclusive Resort? Road Trip.
Muffin or croissant? Croissant.
CNN or BBC? BBC.
Spa or camping? Spa.
Skeptic or true believer? Skeptic.
Popsicle or creamsicle? Popsicle.
Rollercoaster or waterslide? Waterslide.
Glasses or contacts? 20-20. (Okay, I’ll break the rules twice. Nobody ever accuses me of being perfect.)
