A relaxing conversation: Which fictional character would you dine with
If you could have dinner with any fictional character, who would it be and why?
Just for a relaxing conversation
Personally, I'd choose to have dinner with Sherlock Holmes. Imagine the fascinating conversation—his keen observations, brilliant deductions, and perhaps even some witty banter. Plus, I’d love to hear about his adventures straight from him!
What about you? Would it be someone adventurous, magical, or maybe just hilarious?👨🦳👴❤✝

I would love to dine with the Little Prince for his wisdom. “What’s essential is invisible to the eyes.”

2 ReactionsWhat a great thread!
I like your original pick of Sherlock Holmes - and also favor the joy it would be to sit with Winnie-the-Pooh.
I wonder if there are characters who I could dine with to get the answer to the question, "What were you thinking??" Or maybe some who would just benefit from a hug.

Basically, re-incarnate the musical show....
Fond of Disney too...TBC...
I wonder about Holmes, I think he may be like many real people. He assumes you can see and interpret the same way he sees things. Dr. Watson provides the bridge between Holmes and the rest of the world. My Mother-in-Law was like that. She had an opinion about everyone and how they were out to get her. Thus her motivation to get you before you got her. Thelife result was, when my wife's father died all three children were sad and mournful; when her mother died, all three of them felt a great weight had been removed from their backs. They were happy and not the least bit mournful.
