What They Think About Mom (Me!)

What is something mommy always says to you?

Two said, “I love you.”
Charity said, “Don’t touch the kettle.”

I’m not a slave driver… honest. She’s making $5 a week to do laundry. (she’s saving up for a new digital camera since they killed my old one)

What makes mommy happy?
Four of them said, “obedience”
Yes, obedience makes Mommy very happy!
Keona said, “When I do well on my tests.”

What makes mommy sad?
Three for disobedience, 1 for lying and Elijah said, “When I wrote that I’m not thankful for her.”

How does your mommy make you laugh?
Three say “tickling.”
Two say, “When she says something funny.”

I’m really not funny at all… :/

How tall is your mommy?
Elijah and Prayer said, “15ft”
Charity said, 5’8”
Eve said, “2ft”
Keona, played it safe with, “tall”

I think we’ll be working some more on measurements during math…

What is her favorite thing to do?
"Read her Bible, write on the blog, play…"
Elijah said more specifically, “play Mario cart Wii!”
Keona said, “Be with us.”

Ok, that makes up for the laundry comment.

What does your mommy do when you're not around?

Apparently when they’re not around, I…
“Rest, write on the blog, talk on the phone, play Scrabble with Dad…”

Elijah is the only one who realizes that our house doesn’t magically clean itself at night when they’re in bed. He said, “Cleans.”

If your mommy becomes famous, what will it be for?

”Working in an orphanage.”
Ha…thanks Charity.
I also got, “Teaching, art, and ‘I don’t know’…”

What is your mommy really good at?

Three “Mario Carts” and two “Scrabbles”

Good thing they weren’t there to see me lose by 80 points to Scott the other night!

Keona said, “She’s not very good at being not being good.”
Thanks, I think…?

The others mentioned almost every other Wii game we own… :S

I think he forgot about the whole cleaning thing….

What is your mommy's favorite food?

Two “Lasagnas”
One “mashed potatoes”
A “pepper” ???

Though Eve said, “When I put Ella to sleep” more about that on another blog…
