Would You Rather . . . ?

Love posing these ideas and hearing the discussion . . .

Would you rather be a pencil or a rubberband?
Would you rather be a good athlete or a good student?
Would you rather be able to fly or turn invisible?
Would you rather have someone give you $100 or give $1,000 to the charity of your choice?
Would you rather have parents who loved you but were poor or have parents who did not love you but were rich and gave you everything you wanted?
