That was always my mom's fave, lol. I won't tell you what my dad's was, but it wasn't nearly as polite.

I swear like a sailor. Not sure where I got it from, because my parents didn't swear.

My mother whispered "shit" once under her breath, and she was so embarrassed, she avoided me for about a week.

And using colorful language.

Plus my Irish cousins from Boston swore up a storm from a young age.

I was asked this as question #25 or so

"Hopefully wrapping up this interview!"

And I got the job and still have it.

Honesty.

Well, I don't think honesty is a fault.

I don't give a fuck what you think.
