How well do you know me?

There was a questionnaire floating around on FB earlier this week to ask your kids these questions about yourself.  

Leon was handy, so I asked him.  Plenty of "I don't know"s.  Ummm  you should on some...

WITHOUT prompting, ask your child (I asked Leon, age 4) these questions and write EXACTLY what they said about you. 

*What is something I say a lot? I don't know.

*What makes me happy? saying I love you.

*What makes me sad? I don't know.

*How tall am I? 6 feet tall
 
*What's my favorite thing to do? I don't know.

*What is my favorite food? omelet

*What is my favorite drink? cocoa

*If I could go anywhere, where would it be? I don't know.
 
*Do you think you could live without me? no.
 
*Do you think I could live without you? no.

*How do I annoy you? I don't know.

*What is my job? working at your house.
 
*How old am I? I don't know.

* What's my favorite color? pink

*How much do you love me? big as a dragon.      

I LOVED the big as a dragon bit!  Unless he's talking about those little miniature dragons that he plays with...  hmmm

I can't believe this is already 4 years ago...  YIKES!  Time is flying.

Then Meri finally came downstairs.

WITHOUT prompting, ask your child (I asked Meri, age 17) these questions and write EXACTLY what they said about you.

* What's my favorite color? green

*How much do you love me? a lot

She knows me a LITTLE better...

So I shared these with Robb and he came up with Meri's reponses as if she were answering the questions based on him.
