I gave this quiz to my kids tonight. I had them come in one at a time so they wouldn’t influence one another. The results are … well, thought provoking.

1. What is something mom always says to you?
Avery – “I love you”
Piper – “Stop being mean!”
(Funny how the personality of each child is exposed in question #1)

2. What makes mom happy?
Avery – Me doing what you ask
Piper – Listening and saying nice words

3. What makes mom sad?
Avery – When I don’t do something you ask
Piper – Being bad

4. How does your mom make you laugh?
Avery – Making funny faces
Piper – Doing silly faces
(Apparently, I make funny faces … who knew?)

5. What was your mom like as a child?
Avery – Just like me
Piper – Good

6. How old is your mom?

Avery – Bigger than me
Piper – Medium

8. What is her favorite thing to do?

(Why Piper thought this was something I was really good at is beyond me. I must have made quite an impression on her at Disney World.)

12. What is your mom not very good at?
Avery – Touching bottoms
Piper – Being mean to me
(Apparently, I’m not good at being the disciplinarian. I stink at spanking and being mean.)
