Who would I invite to dinner if I had a dinner party for 5 people (both past and present)?
The first would be Mark Twain. I would like to hear his view point on how the world is today. To hear his stories about the times he lived and maybe the people.
Sigmund Freud is the next person I'd like to invite because I would like his option on the world of psychotherapy in the next century. I would love to interact with the other people in the group and see what he thinks of the group.
Scarlett O'Hara. Ok I know what you think. Its a character from a book that was turned into a movie. But she was an influential person in my life. She was strong when she need to be and I think was a little bi-polar, and had postpartum issues. After all she had 5 kids (read the book).
The next two people are my husbands choice. You may know their work over their names. They brought you alternate current and direct current, they brought you ways to see at night.
That's right if you guessed Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla, you win... umm... a pat on the back. He just wants to see them argue about who stole who's patents. I would have them sit with Freud for a while so that they could talk it out and see what really went on and if they had parent issues.
A keep up the appearance that we were a family. My teacher came and asked me about my excitement about a school trip that was up coming. My mother didn't know; she looked at me with disgust. Later that night I was yelled at and hit me. I ran to my room to hide; my mother pulled out a bottle of brandy.
