I will never...


Today’s writing exercise is to write about 50 things I am never going to do.  Hmmmm.  Interesting.  Because I refuse to say that I will NEVER do something.  How the hell can I possibly know that?  Never say never right?  Well, maybe I misunderstood the assignment because after I sat down to think about it, there are some things that I will never do.  But it is not as easy as you may think. 

The first one came to mind really fast.  But only because I the first couple things I thought about, may indeed happen in my lifetime, so who knows.  I have no idea if I can hit 50, but I will go and see what happens.  Even as I type them, I can hear someone saying, how do you know?  Some of them?  Well, I seriously, dare you to try to do this…

Some of them I had help with from Sister.  See if you can pick which ones she suggested out.

1.       I will never be a grandparent.  Not in the truest sense of the title.  Yes I may still have my own children, but the odds of me doing that and still being alive to see them have children, is very, very unlikely.  Perhaps I will meet and marry someone who already has kids and then they have kids, but I will never be a grandparent through my own child.
