Chapter 125 I’m a Question Mark?

One of my youngest brother’s most hated memories of school is when a high school teacher of his had a conference with our mom, telling her, among other things, “Your son is an enigma.” My brother, who was a pretty good student and an otherwise regular kid, did not want to be an enigma, an unknown, or a man of mystery. He was disgusted with his teacher.

I’ll preface this next part by saying that I don’t usually take internet quizzes, but since this one promised to tell me what quotation mark I’d be if I were a quotation mark, the former English teacher in me couldn’t resist. Apparently, enigmas run in my family:

You Are a Question Mark

You seek knowledge and insight in every form possible. You love learning. And while you know a lot, you don’t act like a know it all. You’re open to learning you’re wrong. You ask a lot of questions, collect a lot of data, and always dig deep to find out more. You’re naturally curious and inquisitive. You jump to ask a question when the opportunity arises. Your friends see you as interesting, insightful, and thought provoking. (But they’re not always up for the intense inquisitions that you love!) You excel in: Higher education You get along best with: The Comma

What Punctuation Mark Are You?

So, are these characteristics at all like mine?

Actually, yes. At least I’d like to think they are.

And, ironically, the person who sent me the quiz is a “comma”, the type of person with whom I am most compatible.

Unbelievable.

See you in the stacks!
