**I say “I Love You” a hundred times a day to my kids.** And what answer am I missing? Just in case I read the spreadsheet correctly: **I don’t go to church. So I have missed attending for many more than two weeks in a row.** And I thought I PM’d you my statement just the other day? ---

> [@Idle\_Thoughts](#): > > **Many, many times.** > > ETA: Never told your parents you love 'em, **Worm**? Bad! Bad kid! 😛 Nope, I’ve never said the words “I Love You” to them. I’m pretty sure they know it though. And the same for my siblings. We’re just not that kind of a family. ---

Well, we are that kind of family. **I’ve never been shy about telling people I love them**. Sometimes too eager, but never too shy. I’ll have my round three statement to you tonight, Wormie. ---

Let’s keep going with Ivory Tower Denizen: **Never Have I Ever met my grandparents.** **I have, lots of time. Both those who’ve passed away and those who are left.** And The New and Improved Superman: **Never Have I Ever shopped at Wal-Mart.** **I’ve never seen a Wal-Mart live.** ---

My family lives a long time and gets divorced, so **I’ve met all four pairs of my grandparents**! In fact I only lost the first of my four biological grandparents earlier this year. Funny **IvoryTowerDenizen** made this his round three statement (ooh, foreshadowing!) **I’ve shopped at Wal-Mart** , much more in the past than I do now. I buy something there once or twice a year anymore. I’d like to be all snooty and say I’m doing it because I disagree with their corporate practices and such, but to be honest they’re just usually miserable little places and I don’t like to shop there. ---

**I have met both of my grandmothers, but I have not my either of my grandfathers.** Both Grandfathers died a couple of years before i was born. **I have shopped at Wal-Mart many times, I will probably go there later today.** ---

Well, my paternal grandmother died when my father was a child, so obviously I never met her, but otherwise **I have met my grandparents.** But not any longer; they have all now passed away. And although it is reluctant, **I have shopped at Wal-Mart.** I must say I do like the Wal-Mart market we have here, though. It is beautiful, clean and has a noticeable dearth of teeming hordes of rednecks. ---

\*\*My maternal grandfather and paternal grandmother both died before my birth, but I’ve met the other two. I have shopped at Wal\*Mart frequently, though I prefer not to.\*\* ---

\*\*I’ve met 2 of my 4 grandparents (which I presume is enough to count) I have indeed shopped at Wal-Mart (when visiting the midwest, you don’t have _that_ much choice)\*\* [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/never-have-i-ever/501075.md?page=17) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/never-have-i-ever/501075.md?page=19)
