Ok, that's too funny! I guess I need to have you teach me how to fold clothes, apparently you're REALLY good at it;)

Tiffini said...

I love it. I am going to have to make time to have the boys answer those!

Rochelle said...

That is cute! I'm almost affraid to ask my kids this!

Jill said...

I love this! It always cracks me up, what comes out of their little mouths. I think I might be afraid to hear my kid's answers to these.

Nicole said...

I LOVED this!! I am totally going to copy, I hope that is okay!?? Now I can't stop thinking of Tweety bird ;)

Candy said...

I am to afraid of what my little kids would say, but more afraid of how my big kids would answer some of the questions - I am going to ask though and depending on the answers see if I post it:) Cute post!!!!

that was soooo funny! I love #10 - folding clothes! And the computer & shopping themes seemed to pop up a few times. It's funny to realize how much our kids really know us from what they observe in the everyday . . . . AND how much they just have no clue.

This was so cute -- I may have to try this with my boys sometime.

SUPER sweet...i'm totally doing this too! :)

Karla and Mike said...

You are very brave to post those answers for the world to see! One nice thing is that it points out how your kids perceive themselves and you, and lets you know where you can improve. And I know where I can improve...it's Grandma's job to teach them what you were like as a little girl. I need to get out the photo albums!
Those answers were too funny. You ALWAYS say "NO", you are 4 feet tall, at best, and you could be famous for folding clothes! You e-mail people all day, and eat a lot of Mac and Cheese. Is this how your kids will remember you when they grow up and leave home???

Candy said...

that is really funny. I'll have to ask my girls those questions, and maybe I'll post it. We'll see! You are a good mom.

Anonymous said...

Love it Love it Love it!!! I'm so going to do this with my boys. So, maybe you should offer laundry folding lessons along with your piano and voice lessons? Apparently you have more talent than I realized :)

Julie@My5monkeys said...

Jacob and Emily said...

THis is so funny! I think you could be famous for folding clothes! I wonder what their answers would be for Brian...

Jodi said...

This was very fun to read! Some of their answers seriously had me lauging! Tweety bird? Mac and cheese? I may have to do this with Ben but I'm not sure if I will be brave enough to post it. We'll see ;)

Amanda said...

That is so cute- I am stealing it for sure!! What fun answers they gave...hee hee

Jolynn said...

Little girls are so fun. That was very sweet!

Danielle said...

I hope you are still alive. Did you know that Stephenie Meyer posted half of 'Breaking Dawn' on her website?????? YES!!!

kam said...

This was really, really awesome!! :) I am going to do this when Gunnar is older. Were you cracking up? I am so sorry I have been absent for soo long; 2 weeks left until the baby comes...it has been busy!!
I will have more time when I am up every three hours to post some love.
Was the Bobby post tricky to understand? I think I clarified it.
love and miss you- K
p.s. Jaren and I had a Paige and Brain moment last night. We made bagel pizzas and Jaren said, "We first made these with Paige and Brian." Then it got all quiet and reminiscent and stuff. I said, "I miss those guys." Then he said, "I do too." ;)
