So...Tell Me...
Questions Only You Can Answer

The questions are simple. The answers are funny, serious, surprising.

So...tell me... is just getting started. You can be one of the first to contribute. I'm collecting responses from people around the country. Some will eventually be shared here; others may become part of future collections, publications, or books.

Here's How It Works

I ask a question.
You share your experience.
There are no right or wrong answers.
Just be you.

It'll Always Be a Mystery

What is one question you never got to ask someone who knew the answer – and what do you think they would have said?
I'll go first: This year (2026) we discovered our father's birth certificate (1923) had his first and middle names completely wrong (not even close) and wasn't corrected until December 1941 when he was 18. I wish we could have asked him the backstory. Was it discovered so he could hurry and enlist in the U.S. Army Air Forces in 1942? - Jerry Hocutt, Jr.
