"taco talk" is something i do with my 15-year-old brother: an activity that involves us gorging ourselves with moe's homewrecker and delving into conversation. at the risk of spoiling any conversation, this is where i dump the questions.

• what's the most scared you've ever been?
• who's the more efficient teacher: the stickler or the comforter?
• where do you like shopping more: the big box with everything or a small store with one-of-a-kind but hard to find gifts?
• is man an indeterminate work of nature?
• plato's cave (using shadows on the ground)
• what came first: the egg or the chicken sandwich?
• 3 friends to eat dinner with: who do you pick?
• how would you explain the reality of death to a child?
• what is progress? what are we aiming for? is that always a good thing?
• how much of a difference can one word make?
• what are some of the smells in your "sense bank" you have positive memories of?
• would you rather be rich or respected?
• what's the most positive memory you have with me?
• what's my biggest flaw?
• what do you think your biggest flaw is?
• what is the best story you have? tell it.
