Me, According to Them: Take II

I did this last February with my children. It was so entertaining that I decided to try it again this year. I separated the children this time so they could not hear the others' answers...and I did not let them see their answers from last year. It is funny to me how similar some of them still are!

1. What is something Mom always says to you?
R "I love you."
P "I love you."
K "Why are you asking me?"

P "When I do bad things."
K "When we don't obey."

4. How does your Mom make you laugh?
R "Being funny, telling me jokes but not tickling me because I am really not ticklish anymore." (I tickled him to check and he is actually still very ticklish!)
P "Tickle me."
K- "When you tickle me."

5. What was your Mom like as a child?

9. What does your Mom do when you're not around?

so funny! I love the 3 different answers, I even laughed out loud a couple times. Cute cute cute!

Tara said...

I think the most telling answers are #8...you play with them a lot! And K's answer on #10...you would be famous for helping. I can't think of two better qualities in a mom.

And I also thought there was a definite difference in the answers between K and the boys. She really notices how you help at The Home. I think I may try this tomorrow on my girls!
