lafemmedesfemme recently posted this meme from back in the day and reminded me how much fun I used to have with it with the Bean. Basically you interview your small-enough-to-be-cute kids and post their answers and it's fun times. So now the Sprout's old enough to do it, I figured I'd put her answers up as well as the Bean's. (She's 4. He's 8. This blows my MIND.)
1. What is something mom always says to you?
Sprout: You say to me about babies.
Bean: That you love me.
2. What makes mom happy?
Sprout: About me cuddling you.
Bean: Me not behaving badly.
3. What makes mom sad?
Sprout: That there's spiders around, or you're bleeding.
Bean: That G-G-Mom died.
4. How does your mom make you laugh?
Sprout: When you make funny faces.
Bean: That's a toughie. Sometimes when you and Dada laugh about a joke, and I get it, I start laughing too.
5. What was your mom like as a child?
Sprout: You like-ed flowers. And you played.
Bean: I think you were kind.
6. How old is your mom?
Sprout: I don't know. I guess sixteen?
Bean: You're 32.
7. How tall is your mom?
Sprout: We'll have to measure you.
Bean: I'd say about five feet something.
8. What is her favorite thing to do?
Sprout: Um, work?
Bean: Be with your children.
9. What does your mom do when you're not around?
Sprout: You look for me and wonder where I am, and you see me peeking up to you!
Bean: Sometimes you go on the computer.
10. If your mom becomes famous, what will it be for?
Sprout: Doing music. How about you play the guitar?
Bean: Being such a good mom!
11. What is your mom really good at?
Sprout: Working, and looking after me. Looking after you means that if there's a baby you have to keep an eye out for them and help them what's wrong with them.
Bean: You're good at that bubble game on the computer, and at taking care of us.
12. What is your mom not very good at?

Sprout: I am proud that you make me laugh.
Bean: That you got through the first semester of nursing school.
16. If your mom were a cartoon character, who would she be?
Sprout: You would be Brave's mommy, except you don't have the same clothes as her. Or you would be Build Destroy Build Destroy - he's on Cartoon neckwork, so he's a cartoon!
Bean: I think you would be Toph, from Avatar.
17. What do you and your mom do together?
Sprout: We draw, and play frog-over-the-jump [leapfrog], and you take me to the park and the newseum.
