Hey SL Fabz,
I trust you’re having a beautiful Wednesday. Let’s have some fun with these questions shall we. Don’t forget to be as honest as possible. Please leave your answers in the comment section. I can’t wait to read them!
1. If you were in a store and saw a person shoplift an expensive item, would you tell someone?
2. If you saw your best friend’s boyfriend kissing another girl would you tell her?
3. If you found a wallet with $1500 cash in it, would you try to return it?
4. If your brother/sister won 3 million dollars in the lottery how much would you expect to get, if any?
5. If your 15-year-old daughter came home pregnant how would you handle it?
1. Well, my natural instinct at first will be to tell. But it’s tricky. What if I can’t prove it? What if the person hid it so skillfully that the shop owners can’t find it on him/her? What if there are no cameras in the store or I am made to look like a liar? I really don’t know and I hope I never find myself in that situation.
2. This one is hard too. You might be labelled a hater for telling. Or worse, your best friend might not even believe you! I guess the rule here too is don’t tell if you can’t prove it. I once read an article on this sort of topic and the best way to deal with this is ‘show, don’t tell’. It would be much better if you can ‘show’ your best friend a real scene where her boyfriend is cheating on her, perhaps taking her to a place where you usually see them hang out, rather than ‘tell’.
3. Oh, definitely! No use stealing.
4. Hahaha! Sharing formula… I honestly don’t have an answer to this one. But Amen to that!
5. This one is not funny oh! A 15 year-old girl is way too young to be a mother. She is still a child. I think what would be most important on my mind if I have a teenage daughter would be how to give her the love and guidance she needs to prevent such. But situations like this do happen quite often and that is the reality. So, yeah, that would make me really sad. However, I’d make sure I give her all the support that she needs and help her stay focused and positive.
Now, it’s your turn. Let’s have your answers below in this order 1, 2, 3, 4, 5…

March 23, 2016 at 7:35 pmI will say yes to all the qestion. On that of shop lifting i would first approuch the person to let him or her know i saw everything. If he returns it back fine, but if he still refuses then the security must be informed.
For qestion number 5, i wont expect much and will be greatful for any amount given to me. And for the last qestion, i dont know what i will do, but am very sure i will be disappointed. Hmm well i pray such never happens.

March 23, 2016 at 9:23 pm1 No, I have got no business there people steal everyday, unless with a friend, but it gonna be gossip. lol
2. No, because we ladies misunderstand things and I wouldn’t want her breakup to come from me, she will fine out some day truth ain’t hidden.
3. This one is complicated, as the spirit leads…. lol
4. Depending on the closeness between us.
5.Its never easy for any mother, especially when expecting greater things than such, I will feel disappointed for sure. then seek either a medical advice, or counseling as not to make mistakes. prayers included. And this time I I’ll be extremely careful with her, starting by being her close friend that she can confined in

March 24, 2016 at 10:51 am(1) I wouldn’t tell anyone but for conscience sake, I’ll try and talk to some staff to track him/her
(2) I won’t tell my friend but will allow her to find out by herself
(3) I will return it if there’s address or bio data pertaining to how I can locate the person
(4) I wouldn’t expect much tho cos I actually don’t have much budget. Moreover, my brother will of course have plans as well.
(5) I pray this doesn’t happen. But on assumption, I wouldn’t castigate the daughter because to people, it will look as if I’ve failed as a mother. I’ll definitely support her in every way

March 24, 2016 at 1:40 pm1. If you were in a store and saw a person shoplift an expensive item, would you tell someone?
I’m not a cop. If things are expensive, why pay for it? It makes no sense.
2. If you saw your best friend’s boyfriend kissing another girl would you tell her?
No. I’m not a grass.
3. If you found a wallet with $1500 cash in it, would you try to return it?
I’d be pissed off, really. I’d think whoever is rude, and damn too stingy. $1500 can’t buy a decent pair of trainers.
4. If your brother/sister won 3 million dollars in the lottery how much would you expect to get, if any?
70% percent, or she gets nothing. I can’t stand stingy people.
5. If your 15-year-old daughter came home pregnant how would you handle it?
What type of question is this? I’m too young. I don’t have a daughter.
lol
I’m kidding, really 🙂
