What luxury would you like to enjoy just once?
My ultimate answer to this question reminds me how important it is to ask open-ended questions. You seldom want to pose a simple ‘Yes/No’ question in which you can’t guarantee the responder actually mulled over and spat out a meaningful answer. Frankly, if they simply answer in the affirmative or negative, you can’t be sure they even heard or understood a word you uttered. When verifying someone’s address, don’t ask, “Do you live at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW, 20500?” Instead, employ the open-ended version: “What is your address?” If they answered “Yes” to that former, poorly phrased inquiry, they’re either the POTUS, a family member of the President, live-in White House staff, a liar, or—most likely—not a good listener. It’d sure be a luxury to live in the White House just once . . . for 8 years. I mean, I wouldn’t want to be the actual President! That’s far too much work for me. And while I don’t mind tidying up my house now and again, I certainly don’t want to be the White House butler. I suppose that leaves my wife, Phoebe, as the first female POTUS!
