If there is always a problem, then maybe you're a pessimist--life doesn't always give you lemons, there are also times of pure joy no matter how fleeting that moment is.

word for word, the exact same answer that popped into my mind!! Then right after that, "If there's always a problem, then you're doing something wrong!"

You gave the best mentally healthy answers there are and creative ones at that! I knew you guys were tops.
When I first heard that question about twenty years ago, my first answer was "Then somebody better stop it!" I was thinking, gee, if there is always a problem, somebody needs to start behaving! I was startled by the phrase "ALWAYS A PROBLEM". Always? Wow, how often is that?!

If there are four walls, then you wouldn't be able to even tell what color they are painted, because I will have quilts, antique boxes, saw blades, etc. hanging from top to bottom!

Just answer the questions because the assortment of answers is so fun to think about!

If there is a rowboat on the ocean then look for me in the big luxury yacht nearby--I'll be the friend waving at you and being your safety net in case something goes wrong.

If theres a rowboat on the ocean then I'm glad I'm not in it.

If there is a rowboat on the ocean...I hope I have some fishing poles!

Oh you all are just TERRIFIC with your great answers to these fun-to-think-about questions.
My personal answer to "If There Is a Rowboat On The Ocean..." was "Then I want to steer it as gamely as I can, up one swell and down the next, until I reach safe harbor for Maxi and I."
What I so enjoy about these questions/answers is that we all visualize the question differently. Some of us put ourselves in the boat. Others saw it from a distance. Some saw opportunity, others saw danger-to-be-avoided. FASCINATING!

Today I asked Maxi the question "If There Is A Rowboat On The Ocean...."
He said "If there Is a Rowboat On The Ocean, then there is an ocean liner nearby!"
That's Maxi...confident and serene. His motto ought to be:
And things can never go badly wrong, if the heart be true and the love be strong; for the mist, if it comes, with the weeping rain, will be turned by the Love into sunshine again!"
The child is full of hope. Wa-ay to go, Maxi!

My personal answer to "If there is a pen and one piece of paper, then..." was "Use it to send for help!"
I'm thinking if I'm down to only one piece of paper, I must be in trouble of some sort...maybe stranded someplace?
