Getting to know you - Smart *kitten* Edition
I'm pulling this from the archives because I'm proud of the deluge of wit, but I'm sure you guys can one-up me. Go nuts with it. And I promise this will be the last 20-questions quiz I post - today, at least. :flowerforyou: 1. are you fun? Only on Fridays 2. are you easily offended? Not unless my mother is mentioned - then…

Does tea count as water?
I drink pretty watery iced tea, unsweetened. Does that count? Or does it have to be straight water?
