If you were an animal what kind of animal would you be?

KRISTINA:  I love mice. Yes, I would like to be a mouse. The only problem I have with that is cats. Cats also love mice, but they eat them.

So I have a large project going on where I try convince all cats in the world not to eat mice anymore.

Betty is very fond of her car


Street Survey
If you could take only 3 items onto an island with you, what would they be?

BETTY:  I have a friend who once got the same question and did some weird choices. She brought with her a box of wine bottles but forgot a corkscrew.

I won't make the same misstake!
I will bring a good book, my car and I certainly do not miss the car key.

What is the first thing you do in the morning when you wake up?


VERONICA: The first thing I do? I reach for my purse and check that I haven't forgot my wallet and that all my credit cards are still there.

This is just my first check. I go to check my handbag at least once an hour throughout the day.

A terrible compulsion behavior - I know ...

How to broaden the mind of a goldfish

How do you train your pet?


ING-MARIE:  I love my little goldfish Billy. Ain't he cute?!

I bring him to the park every day and I show him what he should be afraid of and what is harmless. Cats eat fish so beware. Dogs are just curious, you can tease them and so on...

And after a completed lesson he gets a reward in the form of fish food.

Albeit important, street surveys can be importunate and unpleasant

Why some people have walking sticks as pets

Street Survey
If you would have a new pet what would it be and what would you call it?


ESTHER:  A new pet? What a lovely idea. Then maybe you can take care of Abraham? Abraham is my talkative and loud parrot. If you do that , then I will buy myself a stick insect, a walking stick as a pet. Or maybe two. And they may be called anything - as long as they don't talk!

What is the first thing you do in the morning when you wake up?


EMILY: I am very tired in the mornings so therefore I have a good trick to get started. I'm leaving right out of bed on a jog.

One problem: When you're so tired, there are no guarantees of normal behavior. Two times I have forgotten to dress into jogging suit and have been running dressed in my nightgown. On the other hand it has been a very popular event for people in the morning rush.
