I LOVE BEING A MOMMY (GRANDMOTHER)

My daughter posted this on her blog for her three children, so I thought I'd do the same. The answers are from (in order) my oldest daughter (32), my younger daughter (29), and my grandson who is also my adopted son (11 - almost 12). It is amazing how close they are on some of the answers!

1. What does mom say to you?
a. I love you
b. I love you
c. Whaaaaaaaat? (in an irritated voice)

2. What makes mom happy?
a. Having the house to herself
b. Having her checkbook balanced and in the positive, and having time to herself
c. When I unload the dishwasher.

3. What makes mom sad?
a. Having to do too many dishes
b. When Dad and Tim fight, or Miranda has problems
c. When Grandpa and me argue, or I misbehave.

4. What does mom do that makes me laugh?
a. She uses funny voices for the different characters when she reads to me
b. She's hilarious all the time

6. How tall is mom?

9. What is mom's favorite food (they sure nailed this one!)

10. How do you know that mom loves you?
a. She does so much for me - a ton of stuff.
