I’m usually against any “ask the” threads, but I’ve recently thought “Hmm… I wish I knew a \_\_\_\_ so I could ask them \_\_\_\_”  
so…

I would love to see an “ask the 1st grade teacher”, “ask the (insert political office holder)”, “ask the writer”, and less likely, “ask the hermit”.

If you fit any of the above maybe a few others would like to pick your brain.

And what “ask the” threads would you like to see?
