About Mommy

A friend posted on Facebook a list of questions and answers about herself which she had asked her six year old. He had some really cute responses. None of my daughters were that great but some are worth sharing. It's fun to get inside your child's mind by asking questions like these. Maybe I'll see if I can find some more lists and try to do something like this every once in a while.

What is something Mommy always says to you?
Hollis: I love you.
Meriel: She doesn't say anything always. (My literal minded child. "Ok, a lot.") Calm
             down.
Eris: You're not meaning not to.

What makes Mommy happy?
Hollis: I obey.
Meriel: When I behave.
Eris: Cleaning up.

What makes Mommy sad?
Hollis: Me being naughty.
Meriel: When I be naughty.
Eris: [Me] hitting Meriel.

How does Mommy make you laugh?
Eris: By laughing at my jokes.

If Mommy becomes famous, what will it be for?

         famous for reading so many books.

What is Mommy not very good at?

Eris: (Laughs) I know, getting away from her children.

That's all for now. Good night!
