My Husband Interviews My Daughter, About Me

So long ago that I don't remember where it came from, I copied a set of questions to ask the kidlet - a meme, if you will. Here's what she - at six and 5/6 - has to say about me. And despite a huge urge to editorialize, I have refrained.

1. What is something mom always says to you?
"Put your pajamas on!"

2. What makes mom happy?
When I wake her up and kiss her.

3. What makes mom sad?
When you don't do what she says.

4. What does your mom do to make you laugh?

5. What was your mom like as a child?
No idea.

8. What is her favorite thing to do?

10. If your mom becomes famous, what will it be for?

11. What is your mom really good at?
Kissing me.

12. What is your mom not very good at?
Putting me to bed - she always forgets to sing me a lullaby.

13. What does your mom do for her job?
She works at a ballet studio.

14. What is your mom's favorite food?
Salad.

Never forgets to read me a book.

18. How are you and your mom the same?
We both have blonde hair.

19. How are you and your mom different?

    #19? Hahahaha.

    Whether or not her impressions are accurate, there's a lotta kissing going on, which gets my stamp of approval.

  3. this is so great but i think she might have gotten the height question wrong.... you couldn't be more than 7 feet.

    i need to mark and save these questions to put to the boys in a few years.

  4. If I had a nickle for every Mom who would be famous for singing and yet always forgot the lullaby....

    It's good. I came across one of these that Angus had done at nursery school and for what do you want to be when you grow up he said Elmer Fudd. ....?

  13. Oh my goodness. I predict lots of lullabies in the future.

    Tweetie. But the kisses-- and tickling-- sounds like you pretty much get an A.

  16. i like that there is a kissing theme to her answers. and maybe the key to getting her to stay in bed is the lullaby. it's worth a shot! ;)

    i've been meaning to do this with my own child for well over a year. maybe I'll actually do it.
