Dan In Real Life

Marie likes books that “pull her in.” What would you suggest for her?

When Marie was describing her ideal book, I immediately though of The Book Thief. It has the humanness that she was looking for. Told from the point of view of Death, it follows a little girl named Liesel in Nazi Germany. It’s sweet and funny, but also heartbreaking and thoughtful. I think it’s a book everyone should read at least once.

Do you think well-traveled people like Marie are more interesting?

I think that people who travel often have more stories and experiences to share with others. From what I know, people who travel are more open-minded and positive about things. Traveling really allows you to have experiences you otherwise wouldn’t have. And I thing this aspect of traveling is what makes people addicted to it.

Marie has a talent for making pancakes. What is your special talent?

My special talent is ordering McDonald’s drive through and having the total land on a whole dollar almost every time. Also, a superpower I recently found out about is that I’m crazy good at guessing charades.

Are you a good bowler?

On WiiSports, I am super good at bowling. I don’t throw strikes all of the time, but I’m better than the rest of my family. But they’re not really good at video games in general. I’ve only bowled a few times at an actual bowling place, and I’m not that good at it. I have to use the kid size balls cause I can’t lift the normal ones.
