We have often heard the expression, if I could be a fly on the wall....with a large variety of things following it. Suppose, just for a day, you really could be a "fly on the wall". Whose wall would you be on? Would you spend the entire day following one person around, on just one person's wall? Would you visit a few different people and listen in? What would you use this unique power to find out or who would you spy on and why? Please share and have fun with this one!

I would be a fly on the wall at meetings where the presidential and congressional candidates discuss their strategies. It would be interesting to hear what they say when no one else is around.

That is just the type of answer I would expect from you! I agree though, it would be nice to know what the candidates says when no one is around.

I would be a fly on the wall of the Russian Club where I drink at too see how much crap people talk on me when I'm not around and also to witness all the crazy stuff that goes on when I am not there.

Well, would it not be nice too. I could think of a couple of places I would Love to be one at. Some of them are: At work... especially the days I do not work, or around Jim (my Bosses) desk when my name is ever brought up. Also I would Love to be sometimes when I know my family or my husbands family might be discussing us, and also when someone from our Church might be discussing us as well. But then if you heard someone say something BAD against you, or you might find offensive or hurtful, do you think it would only make things worse? Just my thoughts.

Those sound some interesting places in which to be a fly on the wall! If I heard someone say something offensive or negative about me, it would most likely be hurtful; but on the other hand, you might be able to learn some very useful information. I guess it's just the sort of thing where you'd have to be prepared to take the good with the bad.

I can think of a few family members who I often think about being a "fly on the wall" so I could figure out why they do things. Then again since this is the political season, I would like to be on the wall while some of the decisions are made.

Yes, it would definitely be an advantage if you could be a fly on the wall to hear some of the decisions made in politics.
