Why Michelle Obama? I think the First Lady of our country is an exceptional role model. In my opinion, she is the epitome of elegance, intelligence, and beauty (both inner and outer). I admire her values, and her commitment to her family. The First Lady is fighting to end childhood obesity, and she is an advocate for and supporter of, our military families. I imagine Michelle Obama and I having a lot in common, and after meeting, talking, and laughing together, we would become fast friends.
Why Oprah Winfrey? I think Oprah Winfrey is one of the most interesting and knowledgeable women of this century. Oprah Winfrey has an amazing way of connecting with people from all walks of life. She interviews celebrities and everyday people with both skill and insight. She has a way of asking the tough questions, that not only inform, but often teach us things. Additionally, she has a wonderful sense of humor. I think Oprah and I would be good friends as well. In case you didn't know, Oprah and Michelle are friends. So, as you can see, I'm really on to something here.
Why my father? Well, I've never met Michelle Obama or Oprah Winfrey. They're just two people who I find interesting. My father, on the other hand, was someone I knew. He passed away when I was in my second year of college. I knew him from the prespective of my childhood. However, I never really knew him as an Adult. He was ill from the time I graduated high school, up until the time that he passed away, which was my sophmore year of college, when I was 20 years old. I have so many things that I would love to tell him, so many questions that I would love to ask him, and so many hugs that I would love to give him. I sometimes talk to him even though he is not here. He is in heaven and I take comfort in the idea that he hears me, even though he can't respond back. "Daddy, I love you. I know I haven't told you lately, but I do."
Who are the three people you would invite to lunch?
Interesting question. I will have to ponder that. I like your choices. Would it be one lunch or three? That would make a difference, wouldn't it?
ReplyDeleteThat's, a good question. I think it would be three lunches. That way, I could have each person to myself, and not have to share the conversation or attention :)
ReplyDeleteThat is an interesting question... and excellent choices!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to go with some fictional people, if I could. Princess Leia, Wonder Woman, and Oracle (another DC heroine).
But if you asked me a different day I might go with Marie Curie, Amelia Earhart, and Eleanor of Aquitaine... or maybe Queen Elizabeth I? Can I have themed lunches? *chuckles*
Perhaps this is post fodder for me!
Great lists! I love the idea of talking to Amelia Earhart. I hope you'll write about it for one of your slices. Sound like two slices in one.
DeleteGreat post!!!!! Very intriguing. I might have to think and write a post later on about my three dinner quests.
ReplyDeleteYou should write a post about your three dinner guests. I would love to read it!
DeleteI would definitely invite Michelle Obama!! I think she is amazing. I would probably also invite Yuna Kim (figure skater) and Bono.
