Make Me Laugh Monday – My Children Answer

That latest “rage” over there on the Facebook is this meme where one asks one’s child(ren) a list of questions about oneself. The directions say to write their EXACT answers. Can I just ask, “Why do I put myself in these situations?” SOme kids talk about all the fabulous cookie-making their moms do with them, or the reading, or snuggling. Not my kids. Nope. They tell on me. I suppose it’s my fault. Kids are pretty honest.

Aaaanywho… like the FB friend I am… I did complete the meme. I asked my spawn children 19 very important questions about me. Their answers are listed in order of their age: Joel (9); Olivia (6) & Lucy (4). And I list them here, because — ultimately, their answers made me laugh. I love how well they know me… I love hearing what their opinions are… And I love seeing how each sees me a little differently, depending on their need.

    Cleaning makes your son happy?! Any chance I can borrow him, or he could visit for a bit and run a boot camp type situation to teach my sons?

    I have been to frightened to participate in that meme. I am deathly afraid of finding out just how well my children know me…

    Your daughters Pee obsession is making me laugh so hard I think I just peed in my undies! And….it’s inspiring to know that you are nice to your kids a lot of the times. Maybe I should work on that myself!
