FQF: How is it Friday Already?

This is SUCH a hard question. I think in almost all cases, youths know that murder is very wrong. But do they always recognize the consequences of their actions (I’m not talking about the punishment, but the finality of death and the impact that has on others)? No. I suppose it would depend on the situation. I don’t like the idea of minors serving time in adult prisons, nor do I think that they should merely be released when they are 18 or 21.
2. Would you rather teach a young child to read or have to learn again for yourself?
I would NOT like to learn how to read again, since it’s harder for adults. Plus, that would mean I couldn’t read while I was re-learning. I would like to teach a child to read…I LOVE to teach and want to share the world of books to children.
3. Name 1 thing you love about being an adult:
Driving (and the freedom associated with it).
4. If you had been named according to your personality what would your name be?
Lola Vavoom (JUST KIDDING…that’s a minor character’s name in Jasper Fforde’s Thursday Next series). I’ve always thought that Rebecca would have fit me (a name my parents had considered). When I was little I always thought Naomi Ruth Russell would be an awesome nom de plume (no, I wouldn’t have used the French back then, but I like to now!), but I definitely don’t think so now. I also relate a lot to Hannah in the Bible, so that’s another option. Though really, Ronnica sums me up quite well.
5. What texture irritates you?
Velvet.
