Many moms in blogland are conducting the following interview with their kids. For fun, I did it too. I typed just what they said. My comments are in parenthesis.
1. What is something your mom always says to you?
H: I love you. (Aww.)
S: Read. (We had a big discussion about her reluctance to read just last night.)
2. What makes your mom happy?
H: When I do what she says.
S: Me reading. (Still on her mind.)
3. What makes your mom sad?
H: When I don't follow the directions.

4. How does your mom make you laugh?
H: By tickling me.
S: By being funny.
5. What was your mom like as a child?
H: Pretty.
S: Like me. (Except for the reading part, it's scary how right she is about this.)
6. How old is your mom?
H: Something in the 40s. Or maybe just 40. (Really? Because just yesterday you thought I was a dinosaur!)

S: Crafting
11. What is your mom really good at?
H: Scrapbooking
S: Crafting, sewing, and reading
12. What is your mom not very good at?

16. If your mom were a cartoon character, who would she be?
H: Minnie Mouse
S: Minnie Mouse
(Except Greg thinks Minnie Mouse is a hussy ~ always showing off her bloomers & all. Wait, maybe he'd like that.)

S: We 're related to each other and she had blond hair when she was a kid. (I had blondish hair for about two seconds, then it turned brown.)
19. How are you and your mom different?
H: You have kind of black or brown hair and I have blond hair.
S: She's a grown up and I'm a child. (And don't you forget it!)
20. How do you know your mom loves you?
H: Because you smile when I do things for you.
S: Because she takes care of me & she feeds me and if she didn't love me she wouldn't do anything.
21. What does your mom like most about your dad?
H: That he worked on the back yard so it can be pretty. You like most about him that he has a big heart.
S: He's funny. (But not as funny as me.)
22. Where is your mom's favorite place to go?
H: Arizona
S: Disneyland
(I guess they were thinking 'big trip' because I'm surprised neither one of them said shopping.)
What do your kids have to say about you?
