A: I’ve never intentionally vomited.
Q: If I gave you $10 bucks to go buy me chocolate milk, and it only cost $3, would you bring me all the change or would you tell me it was actually $10? Because I’ll know. I’ll know chocolate mile doesn’t cost that much.
A: It will happen like this: I’ll walk into the store. I’ll stare at the refrigerated display of chocolate milk. I’ll compare pricing, because I’m a prudent individual. I’m also a caring individual, so I will compare nutrition information to make sure I’m getting you the highest percentage of protein and calcium available. I’ll check the store brand—it’s altogether lackluster. I’ll move on to Nesquick—too much sugar, not enough protein (you get cranky if you don’t have enough protein). I’ll then scan the row and my eyes will land on Alpenrose which, as everybody knows, is the most superior brand of chocolate milk on the market, so go get you some. I digress…my eyes will land on Alpenrose and linger for an uncomfortably long amount of time. My phone will ding, you’re texting me asking where I am with your chocolate milk. I panic and grab the organic brand. I return to you with chocolate milk and try to put the whole traumatic experience behind me. All this to say, have you purchased organic chocolate milk lately? It’s approximately $10.00. There’s no change.
Q: How many seconds would it take you to eat this entire block of cheese?
A: 1,800.

A: 5 minutes, at most.
Q: Who do you just hate the most?
A: I can’t put that information in writing.
Q: Do you think Zac Efron is really nice in real life or does he just walk around with his abs out telling people to go fetch him vegetables?
A: You don’t get abs like Efron by eating vegetables. He’s definitely a protein kind of dude.
Q: What’s your favorite thing to order from the Olive Garden?
A: Breadsticks with extra alfredo sauce for dipping and a peach tea.
Q: How many times does it take for you to listen to a song that you love before you actually hate it instead?
A: 9,651.
Q: Do you ever stop and think about the number of soiled diapers in the world? Like. Whoa. Am I right?
A: Totally whoa. If only there was an option that was more environmentally friendly.
Q: Have you ever started petting a really fluffy dog and just gotten very overwhelmed by how fluffy this dog is?
A: No. I try not to touch animals.
Q: Finally, and this one is important, so please pay attention. What do you think cats dream about?
A: Establishing their dominance over the human race.
And, there you have it everyone. Now, we all know Veronica just a little bit better! In all seriousness, we at Torres & Haroldson are lucky to have her and enjoy her being part of our team.
