Like, WTF?
(BTW, if you don’t know what I’m talking about, I can’t help you-- except to say read Harry Potter🧙🏽♂️ books).
And according to the sorting hat🧙🏽♂️ quiz my family took before heading to Harry Potter World this past January, I’m married to a Ravenclaw🦅 (with Slytherin🐍 tendencies—no surprise there) and our children are Ravenclaw🦅 (Holly) and Gryffindor 🦁 (Adam).
I’m the lone ‘puff. 🦡
No matter how many times I took that damn quiz🧙🏽♂️ (five), it’s always Hufflepuff. 🦡 ♾️
At first, I was extremely unhappy about this. 🤬
“This is bullsh*t. I’m totally Gryffindor.”
My husband snickered and smirked (showing his Slytherin🐍 side) and told me that as the quiz’s questions were in-depth and always changing with each taking of the quiz, the repeat outcome of my Hufflepuff sorting was definitely accurate.
Stupid Ravenclaw🦅.
But, walking around, wand in one hand, Strongbow cider in the other (omg, butterbeer was the most disgusting thing I ever put in my mouth. 🤮 And that is saying something) I thought more about Hufflepuff. And the more I thought 🤔, the more it made sense.
(And really, the fact I thought 🤔 it over this much, only further proved I’m a legit Hufflepuff 🦡. Apparently, we have a big thing for justice. ⚖️)
I mean, the younger version of myself, the one who first read the Harry Potter books and who imagined herself in all the scenes along with Harry, Ron and Hemione was obviously devastated 😔.
But the adult me?
Well, the adult me was more concerned about when we were going to get our daily serving of Florean Fortescue’s ice cream 🍨 (Hufflepuffs understand the importance of food 😋).
During our trip I stood by and watched my kids do magic in all the windows shops with their new wands 🪄 until the Hufflepuff in me thought F this, and I bought my own wand (again—justice⚖️).
Did I feel silly waiting in line behind all the children at the window shops to swish my $80 stick 🪄 around while saying nonsensical words 😮?
Hell no!
I freaking loved it 💛.
So, while my daughter Holly enjoys being known for her intellect and wit🦅 and Adam is all Gryffindor🦁 go-go GO and my husband is a smarty-pants engineer with an evil🐍 genius side, I’m perfectly happy being all—Arresto Momentum.
Let’s all just stop and get along. ☺️ (Hufflepuff’s tend to be introverts though they get along with everyone)
Also—badgers will claw/bite someone to death if provoked. 🦡 🩸 😵
So, you know, that’s awesome. 😉
