Pets on Parade

One day I heard someone say that they thought the Table Topics portion of Toastmasters was the dessert of the meeting. I would have to agree. We have oodles of fun with our Table Topics time and this weeks was not a disappointment! 

Our theme of the day was "Pets on Parade" and our Table Topics Master did a great job incorporating that theme into the meeting. One of the first questions he asked was "There has been a reversal in our the society, humans are the pets, and the pets are the masters. Your pet has taken you to a parade. Tell us what you are doing." This was too funny and quiet the challenge! Our speaker talked about her experience of being put in a wagon to juggle all different types of balls using her hands and her feet. She had to "Juggle, juggle, and juggle some more!" 

The next question was "You have recently written a book called "Pets on Parade". Tell us how you chose the title and who your intended audience is." Okay readers, why don't you answer this one? I'd like to know!

The last question was "Us earthlings have contacted an alien world. You have been chosen as a delegate to this alien world and have been asked to pick ten animals that best represent our earth. What ten animals would you choose, and why?" Wow! That's a difficult one. There are so many amazing creatures on our planet. The speaker did a great job and mentioned that he would start with a fish as it represents the life in the waters on our earth. The next would be the turkey, for it's intelligence, being smarter than the eagle. What animals would you choose? I think I would choose the lion for it's majesty and strength. To me it would represent us, the people. We are strong and courageous, having faced many challenges in our existence. We are mighty! Hear us ROAR!!
