Since I'm getting over being sick and getting ready to go out of town, today seemed like the perfect opportunity. I have to mention that Jade and I had this conversation one evening after dinner. She had had a long nap, so when The Hubs took O up to bed, I took a few minutes to ask her these questions.
Here goes!
Me: What is something mom always says to you?
Jade: Those little hands are going to get you in trouble.
Me: What makes mom happy?
Jade: Being excellent. Being good. (being excellent? Good grief, I sound like one of those moms!)
Me: What makes mom sad?
Jade: Being disobedient
Me: How does your mom make you laugh?
Jade: Saying jokes. Like, 'Hey, missy!' (she said this in a gruff voice, sort of like a man's voice. I have no idea what she is talking about.)
Me: What was your mom like as a child?
Jade: Doing a good example. Sapphire, I love you. (yes, she used my first name)
Me: How old is your mom?
Jade: 20% (HUH???)
Me: How tall is your mom? (I'm 5'3)
Jade: Very tall. Like this. *stands up in a chair*
Me: What is her favorite thing to watch on TV?
Jade: News *yawns*
Me: What does your mom do when you're not around?
Jade: Rest. (*snort* Don't I wish!!!!)
Me: If your mom becomes famous, what will it be for?
Jade: It will be for grown-up things.
Me: What is your mom really good at?
Jade: Teaching me. (Awwwwwww......)
Me: What is your mom not very good at?
Jade: Spanking. *BIG yawn*
Me: What does your mom do for her job?
Jade: Ummm…..*she goes into gibbereish*.
Me: What?
Jade: More gibbereish.
Me: *rephrasing* – What is mommy’s job?
Jade: Mommy’s job is to teach us.
Me: What is your mom's favorite food?
Jade: Tacos (that is not my favorite food.that’s just what we had for dinner). Mommy, may I go take a nap?
Me: What makes you proud of your mom?
Jade: Saying WOOHOO yeah *clapping hands*. And, when you put on a DVD. Mommy, I want to go take my bath. Now, please.
And with that, the interview ended. Between the yawns and the gibberish and the clearly articulated desire to go to bed, I decided against finishing this little activity tonight. I'll find another time to ask the final questions.
This was so much fun. Please do this with your kids and let me know. I can't wait to read the answers. Especially if you have kids of different ages, like four and eleven. I would be fascinated with their different answers.
Here are the remaining questions.
16. If your mom were a cartoon character, who would she be?
17. What do you and your mom do together?
18. How are you and your mom the same?
19. How are you and your mom different?
20. How do you know your mom loves you?
21. What does your mom like most about your dad?
22. Where is your mom's favorite place to go?
This is so cute and I will have to interview our boys. Thanks, Sapphire.
ReplyDeleteCUTE. Maybe i'll try this with my 12yo cuz my younger ones r 2 small.
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely going to do this. I took Little Buddy to the show the other day, and afterwards I asked her what she liked most, and she said "spending time with you". I could have just melted right then. *gushing*
ReplyDeleteThanks for the post.
