How Many?

Stole this from Meretta. This is how the game works...The person before you has asked a How many ??? question. You answer the question in the comments and then ask your own How many ??? question. The next person to come along answers that question and then gets to ask their own How many ??? question...and so on and so on. Be sure to come back later and answer your question. Since I'm at work, this will give you something to amuse yourselves while I'm gone.

I'll go first and make it a little easy (easy only if you've been paying attention)

How many hours do I work on Saturday?

Brandy said...

Um, four? I know you said you cut back your hours. Is the question I ask supposed to be about me, or something in general?

Bailey Stewart said...

Four is correct. The question can be "How many" of anything, but mostly its personal.

Bailey Stewart said...

For example:

Too many times to count! ;) Seriously 10 times.

Diane said...

Whoo, this is all a bit over my head. I'm probably being dim, or maybe I'm just tired, but I'm feeling a tad deficient in the intellect department. But I wanted to drop by and say hi. Hope I didn't spoil the game.

Bailey Stewart said...

At least a dozen on the alphabatize.

Susan - I say 6 pictures.

Anonymous said...

See you tomorrow or whenever.

Lis said...

Very fun Eve! Which book did you get?
