Create Your Own Adventure- Viviana Ortiz

Prompt 1: In a futuristic industrial society, when child bearing you are allowed to pick your child's character traits as well as their appearance. Would you do it? If yes, what would they be/look like? If no, why?
Prompt 2: If you had to pick one sense (smell, sight, touch, etc.) to have for the rest of your life, which one would it be?
Prompt 3: If you were a musical instrument, which one would you be?

As a musician, the expected answer would of course be my hearing. For me though, music goes far beyond the ear and is felt throughout the whole body. Without the heavy vibrations against your skin, the music has less effect. So my choice is touch.  There's something about touch that is just so intimate. As a colombian, we are really touchy people.
Funny story time: Imagine a little Vivi. A little, chubby, extremely energetic Vivi. So there I was, super excited to be in school and meet new friends. My mom dropped me off and after crying for a bit about my mother leaving me, I decided it was time to meet my new friends. As I went in the room full of other tiny people, my eyes widened as I saw the opportunity to hug people. So off I went. Every single person I saw, I hugged; whether it was a boy or a girl, a teacher or a student... my hugging had no limits.
So imagine my surprise when my mom got a phone call that afternoon about my behavior at school! Apparently I was "too touchy". Oops?
