A Mother's Day Questionnaire

I saw these questions answered by children somewhere on the internet, but I can't find my source. I wrote out the questions and then had my youngest kids give me their thoughts----their answers are, to say the least, insightful!
Luke's answers---age 4
1. I really love it when my mom brings up the Geotrax. (his train set)
2. My mom likes to wear clothes.
3. My mom always tells me stories.
4. The best thing she does is make food.
5. It makes her happy when it is time to bring up the Geotrax.
6. My mom loves to relax by sitting in the sun.
7. I like it when she gets presents.
8. The best thing she cooks is peanut butter and jelly.
9. When mom shops she likes to buy Geotrax.
10. My mom's favorite household chore is knitting.
11. My mom's favotite tv show is Bill Nye the Science Guy.
12. If she could go on a trip, she would go to the creek.
13. I love my mom because she lets me play with Geotrax.
I really see a theme with Luke's answers!
Grace's answers---age 7
1. I really love it when my mom helps me do schoolwork.
2. My mom likes to wear dresses.
3. My mom always tells me to help.
4. It makes her happy when we clean the living room.
5. The best thing she does is clean.
6. My mom loves to relax by sitting.
7. I like it when she comes and kisses me.
8. The best thing she cooks is spaghetti.
9. When my mom shops she likes to buy groceries.
10. My mom's favorite household chore is cleaning.
11. My mom's favorite tv show is Little House on the Prarie.
12. If she could go on a trip, she would go to Hawaii.
13. I love my mom because she's special.
Mark's answers---age 9
1. I really love it when my mom get's me Starwars stuff.
2. My mom likes to wear glasses.
3. My mom always tells me not to do "this or that"
4. The best thing she does is sew.
5. It makes her happy when I clean the the whole house.
6. My mom loves to relax by taking a nap.
7. I like it when she cleans my clothes.
8. The best thing she cooks is tomato soup.
9. When my mom shops, she likes to buy food.

11. My mom's favorite tv show is Dirty Jobs.

It would appear, in the eyes of kids, I like to clean, do laundry and shop for groceries. I really like the fact that all three kids said their favorite food is what I cook the best.

  1. I have GOT to see what my kids think. You guys will get a bigger laugh in 5 years (or even next year) when you look back at that questionnaire. They will think they were so silly!
    xoxo Happy Mother's Day to an AWESOME Mom!!
