Hell Yes

Heather invented a new version of the “Do you like me? Check yes or no.” quiz back when she was in college. It was “Do you like me? Check one: yes, hell yes, or other (please explain).”

This quiz has been useful through the years.

I am very proud of myself because recently I was able to admit to someone that I like them. Yes, at 25 I am making great strides toward adulthood. Of course he had to admit it first, and it was over email, but at least it involved words. Real words, not actions followed by assumptions. And before you pull out your mat and ‘jump to conclusions’, I mean in the Fiddler On The Roof way. If I act like I like you, I probably do, so please don’t make me say it.

But I did say it. Sort of. And in making fun of myself and my inability to communicate, I mentioned the kindergarten quiz and Heather’s adaptation. This is what I got in reply:


-Would [I]* eat paste to impress Nora?
(If that impressed her)

Yes [ ] Hell Yes [ X ] Other [ ]

-Would [I] try to impress Nora on [my] big wheel and probably crash into a trash can?

Yes [ ] Hell Yes [ X ] (Unfortunately) Other [ ]

-Would [I] share [my] favorite lunch snack with Nora? (The little Pecan Pies you buy at the gas station)

Yes [ ] Hell Yes [ X ] Other [ ]

*Names have been changed to protect… whatever, it’s just none of cyberdom’s business who this person is.


I am pretty sure I will chase him on the playground…and maybe push him down.
