This is a cute idea. Copy this note, ask your child the questions and write down exactly how they respond. Tag me back if you haven't done this,I'd love to hear your answers.
This scares me, but here goes... According to Mary Grace:
1. What is something mom always says to you? "Don't break things," and "Princesses like math and science."
2. What makes mom happy? "Not breaking things."
3. What makes mom sad? "Breaking things."
4. What does your mom do that makes you laugh? "Make a silly face."
5. What was your mom like as a child? "Um.... Butterflies!" (?!?)
6. How old is your mom? "Eleven."
7. How tall is your mom? "This big" (stretches hands out)
8. What is her favorite thing to do? "Work."
9. What does your mom do when you're sleeping? "Sit in the chair."
10. If your mom becomes famous, what will it be for? "The couch..." (uh, ok. I don't think she understands "famous".)
11. What is your mom really good at? "Working."
12. What is your mom not very good at? "Playing."
13. What does your mom do for her job? "Working and working and also making things like gigantic holes."
14. What is your mom's favorite food? "China food."
15. Why do you love mom? "Because you're so special." (Awwww...)
16. If your mom were a cartoon character, who would she be? "A girl."
17. What do you and your mom do together? "Um... Uh... I don't know. Um... You and I clean." (Jeez, I'm like the evil stepmother in Cinderella... I am bad at playing and when we do things together we clean.)
18. How are you and your mom the same? "Because we love each other."
19. How are you and your mom different? "Because you don't have any A's in your name," (um... kid, my name is Amy A*****. I think I've got the A's covered).
20. How do you know your mom loves you? "Cause we have the same hair, see?" (I WISH!)
21. Where is your mom's favorite place to go? "Work."
11, 12, and 21 make me sad. :( Clearly I need to have more fun with these kids.

Since my "kids" are 19 and 24, I'll skip this little exercise.
Gawd only knows what they'd come up with!
