Stupid question of the day

Talking with a social worker, preparing for my eventual adoption of the adorable Alex, the woman asks us to describe our personalities. I have always hated being put on the spot by such off-the-wall questions, much like Barbara Walters asking what kind of tree one might be. Here's how I wanted to answer, but figured would freak her out:

I'm an artist, author, poet, music aficionado, literati, intellectual, sarcastic and cynical observer of the human condition. I'm a lover, a husband, a father. I'm a liberal libertarian who questions everything and believes nothing. I think the worst of the deadly sins is sloth.

Never say what you want to say, instead stick with the simple and safe statements they want to hear. :-)
