“There’s always a good part left!”

We couldntinterview Brooke Shieldsandnotask her to help us settle some of our favorite low-stakes controversies.

So we asked for her major opinions on some minor issues.

REAL SIMPLE: When should you gas up the car?

Before the fuel light comes on or after?

BROOKE SHIELDS:I’m a before gasser, my husband’s an after gasser.

(That didn’t sound right.)

I’ve got to have a full tank.

I do this with the charge on my phone, too …

I need to confirm all my bases are covered.

I was an only child.

I’m really edgy.

RS: Is it OK to crack your knuckles?

BS:I heard it makes them bigger, but it feels really good.

But it can’t be great for them in the long run.

I stopped doing it, but my hands havent gotten any less manly.

RS: Should toilet paper be hung so that it rolls over or under?

BS:Toilet paper over.

It’s just the way it’s done, people.

RS: Is the five-second rule real?

BS:Man, I had a half-hour rulefor my kids.

I’d be like, Oh, here, you’re fine.

Got to get those antibodies!

RS: Wearing socks to sleep: Yay or nay?

[Whispers]Cashmere.

Brooke Shields

We just did away with our top sheet.

We’re just a duvet.

Because we’re very European.

RS: Is it OK to eat around the moldy parts of bread and cheese?

BS:I have done it for both, and my husband was so appalled.

He was like, You’re going to get sick.

It’s already living in there.

RS: Is it OK to let your dog lick your face?

BS:I don’t think so.

My dog … still has puppy breath, but I know there’s bacteria.

But for some reason, her mouth seems so clean!

It can’t be that sanitary because they will eat garbage and gum from under a chair.

you’re free to’t do it.

RS: Is it OK to sit on a public toilet seat?

BS:Oh, I don’t sit on public toilets.

I’m a hoverer.

I had this perfect baby hold, and I would hover them and they got real used to it.

BS:We just did away with our top sheet.

We’re just a duvet.

Because we’re very European.
