Christi can can Christy but Christy can’t can Christi. If Christi can can Christy, then why can’t Christy can Christi? Well, because they are different of course! If you think you know the difference between Christi and Christy, try your hand at our Christi/Christy quiz.

1. Christi or Christy, which one wore one blue shoe and one black shoe to work once? In this person’s defense, they were the same style! Don’t be confused by the fact that the other one of also wore mismatched shoes once, but they were different styles in the same color.

2. Christi or Christy, which one gave mouth to bill resuscitation to a duck named “Little Al” when it had a seizure? Think hard on this one. One of us is an animal lover, but the other is very seizure knowledgeable.

3. Christi or Christy, which one drives around Lake Crescent and entertains herself with a little game of “Can I go the whole distance without using my brakes once?” Of course, during tourist season, this takes a lot of skill. Only trained professionals should attempt this stunt.

4. Christi or Christy, which one walked around the FHS gym for a half hour during a high school basketball game with her skirt tucked into her nylons? The nice lady who finally informed Christi/Christy will know this answer.

5. Christi or Christy, which one milked a goat in “high heels and pearls”? OK, not really pearls, but really nice clothes and high heels. By the way, the high heels did match in this case.

6. Christi or Christy, which one named her goldfish Jaws? The other Christi/Christy named her beta, Shark Bait. Also, please know that we never put them together in the same tank because ironically, Shark Bait would have eaten Jaws.

7. Christi or Christy, which one loves spinach to the point of eating a huge bowl for dinner and which one loves mushrooms (the non-magical kinds) to the point of eating a huge bowl for dinner? Clearly, both of us are weird.

8. Christi or Christy, which one was sent to detention only once in her life? But only because she was telling the story about another kid who got sent to detention for saying a potty word and a teacher walked up right when she said the potty word part.

9. Christi or Christy, which one is currently committing polygamy because she married a clown at a circus show when she was 10.

10. Christi or Christy, which one made the FHS team bus pull over on the freeway because she was “bus sick” while everyone on the team leaned out the windows and made barfing sounds? Side note; this is always helpful when someone is sick.

 

 

Christi or Christy? The Answers

By Christi Baron

What I really like about Christy Ford is if I mention something really silly and off the wall she is all for it, she actually starts without me. So when I mentioned a column idea which would be called “Which Christ(i)(y)” she sprang into action, and so this week’s columns are a result of that.

So this is a chance to get to know us better, although after collaborating on these fascinating facts about us, we have decided we are quite boring.

 

1. The answer to this question is, me, I wore two different colored shoes to work. They were plain pumps and the closet was dark, that is my story. I think Christy has got me on difficulty on this one, the different styles would definitely be harder to pull off.

2. The answer to this question would also be me. I had a duck named Little Al, named after the late Big Al Genson (many of my ducks have been named after my neighbors.) Anyway Little Al was left for dead and Big Al saved him hence the name Little Al. One day when Little Al was a teenage duck he had a seizure and I revived him. I will save the rest of the details for another column.

3. OK, this one is a tough one, it is actually me but when I confessed my obsession with this secret driving skill, of driving around Lake Crescent without using my brakes, Christy said she too desired this driving experience. I think we are almost like professionals due to the number of times we have driven the route. I see a road trip in our future.

4. This next questions is a secret fear of every female, the skirt tucked in the pantyhose syndrome. I am thankful to say this one goes to Christy. Although it could have gone either way.

5. OK, which one of us milked a goat in “matching” high heels and “fake” pearls? Again this is very close to being something I might do, but again this one goes to Christy. I have owned goats but never milked them in any attire.

6. Which one of us had a goldfish named Jaws? That would be me, he came from the mean streets of Pullman and did a lot of traveling in a plastic bag. Although Christy’s beta “Shark Bait” may have been able to eat Jaws, I bet he never did any traveling and my goldfish Jaws had a sequel, Jaws II.

7. Who loves spinach? I love spinach, so the answer to this one is me. Christy loves mushrooms! Apparently to the same degree of my spinach love. I must admit I do not like mushrooms, magical or not.

8. Who would have been sent to detention? Not me, so that would be Christy. Although I spent some time in the hall in second grade, for talking, while I was supposed to be reading a Weekly Reader.

9. Wow, polygamy, that would be Christy, although I believe that in some states it is against the law, the marrying of a clown part.

10. The final riveting answer to this quiz is me. I hated riding on those school buses and I made the bus driver pull over on the freeway so “I could get some fresh air.” With good old team spirit they all cheered me on so to speak, but I did not get sick!

We do have some things in common: We both grew up and went to school in Forks, both cheered on the Spartans and we both love our community!
