Every once in a while, I see a list of questions floating around to ask your children, you know, if you really want to hear what they think about you. (It basically reminds me of when I was student teaching and my cooperating teacher suggested that I consider ending my last day with 100 freshman by asking them to evaluate me. Answer: I will never do that again.) So the Younger and I went through a list of 23 questions that has apparently been circulating around the U.K. But then I got rid of the list of questions. So I'll just make up some of my own questions here to correspond with these answers. Perhaps this will be more enjoyable.
(Of note: I found this list again because aww...Mother's Day. Except that I'm very much in the "Who cares?" mode for pretty much every holiday, especially "holidays." Still. I like my daughter, so why not?)

That's awesome! I just saw my 6 year old niece fill out one of these question lists for her dad for father's day and she was so excited to show it to him.
