Interview with Eli

My friend Shauna interviewed her son and tagged me to do the same. It was funny to hear what he had to say.

1. What is something that Mom always says to you? " I love you."

2. What makes Mom happy? "When I clean the floor with you. Why are you asking me this?"

3. What makes Mom sad? "When I hit you." -which he NEVER does.

4. How does your Mom make you laugh? "When she tickles me. Why are you asking me this? Can we stop?"

5. What was you Mom like as a child? "I don't know. You cried and peed and pooped your pants."-How does he know that?

6. How old is your Mom? "I don't know. Can you tell me? (which I did). Oh, then 32."

7. How tall is your Mom? "Tell me. Probably about 8.8.8.8.8.8.8.8.8.8.8. inches."

8. What is her favorite thing to do with you? "Go to Bullwinkles and Chuck E. Cheese and taking us to the temple."

9. What does your Mom do when you're not around? "Goes to the temple and Young Women's."

10. If your Mom becomes famous what would it be for? "For being rich. You could give money to the poor."

11. What is your Mom really good at? "mmm...playing Pit. Can we play Pit? Can we? Can we?"

12. What is your Mom not very good at? "Playing Pit, because I can beat you."

13. What does your Mom do for her job? "Take care of us. You make us breakfast and lunch and dinner. You're kind of like a maid."

14. What is Mom's favorite food? "Snot(laugh), toe jam (laugh), mac 'n' cheese and all your cooking and Rylie's chocolate chip cookies."

15. What makes you proud of Mom? "Can you walk on your hands? Can you do cartwheels or somersaults? (after I answered no to these he looked very concerned) Fine then, because you do stuff on the Internet."

16. If your Mom was a cartoon character who would she be? "Pluto, because maybe he's your favorite character."

17. What do you and your Mom do together? "Ummm...umm... we play games. We play Pit. Mommy, Ivy gave me her turtle. I have a pet turtle."

18. How are you and your Mom the same? "We both play Pit. We play games. That's it! Why are you asking me these questions? I don't want an interview anymore."

19. How are you and your Mom different? "You don't color. You do the calendar and I don't. You use the calculator and I don't. I scream. You don't. That's it!"

20. How do you know your Mom loves you? "Because you say i'm special and I love you. You take me places and can I be done now? Do I get anything for doing that?"


This was fun to do and will make for some good laughs when Eli gets older. I tag anybody who would love to sit down and interview their child. Let me know on my comments if you plan on joining in the fun. I would love to read them.
