Grab bag: 16 random questions for when a call slows down

After the basics, a call can lose steam. That's the time for something everyday. Most people have a take on movies, music or the right Thanksgiving side, and a plain question often gets a better answer than a clever one.

  1. What movie could you rewatch every year?
  2. Dog person, cat person or neither?
  3. What's your karaoke song?
  4. What small thing makes your day instantly better?
  5. Say every day came with a bonus 60 minutes. How do you spend them?
  6. What's the best thing you've bought for under $20?
  7. Which gift is the best one anyone has given you?
  8. If you could play any instrument perfectly, which one?
  9. After a bad day, which comfort food do you reach for?
  10. What app do you use most that isn't social media?
  11. What song will you never skip?
  12. What made you laugh out loud recently?
  13. Thanksgiving: what's the best side dish?
  14. What's your favorite season, and why?
  15. Does your family have a holiday tradition?
  16. Which of your belongings would you rescue first if you had to leave fast?
