Interview with a 4 Year Old

My friend Lori (hi Lori!) recently posted an interview that she did with her 4 year old daughter, Sophie. It was adorable. So I decided to steal the idea for myself and interview Tessa. Here are the results:

1. What is something Mom always says to you?
No (OK, this answer made me a little sad because I really don't think I say NO that much but maybe I do)

2. What makes Mom happy?
Singing Firework on the treadmill (Not so much - the only thing that makes me happy on the treadmill is watching the minutes tick down so I can get off)

3. What makes Mom sad?
When we don’t do the things that Mom wants us to do (Ding, ding, ding - we have a winner)

4. How does your mom make you laugh?
By telling funny stories (I can't imagine where she got this because I don't really tell funny stories but whatever)

5. What was your mom like as a child?
I don’t know because I wasn’t there (True enough)

6. How old is your mom?
I don't know (Good answer - The boys will gleefully tell people that I'm 42)

7. How tall is your mom?
Maybe 50 Feet long (Obviously we need to work on units of measurement; Maybe they'll cover this in kindergarten)

8. What is her favorite thing to do?
To make us happy (Another winner)

9. What does your mom do when you're not around?
Fun things like go out for lunch or the grocery store or hang out (Obviously some of those things are more fun that others)

10. If your mom becomes famous, what will it be for?
Being lucky (???)

11. What is your mom really good at?
That’s a hard one to know. She is good at making us pasta. (Yes. I make an excellent pasta - penne, angel hair, you name it. It's my special way of boiling water.)

12. What is your mom not very good at?
Making biscuits (The only reason she thinks this is because Jay has spent way too much time on Saturday mornings perfecting a buttermilk biscuit recipe. My regular old drop biscuits are perfectly fine)

13. What does your mom do for her job?
Be on the computer and do what she’s supposed to do (OK)

14. What is your mom's favorite food?
Dumplings and beignets that are from New Orleans (A little esoteric, but pretty close)

15. What makes you proud of your mom?
When she plays with us (Well, I'm proud of me when I play umpteen games with Tessa too, since she tends to make up rules as she goes along)

16. If your mom were a cartoon character, who would she be?
I think I know….a mom (Probably. Or a superhero.)

17. What do you and your mom do together?
Go to lunch, sometimes get haircuts, and we also love each other (Awwwwww)

18. How are you and your mom the same?
Our hair is the same and sometimes we match and we have the same last name (We won't discuss how much it costs for me to have the same color hair as Tessa)

19. How are you and your mom different?
Because we have different colored lips (Again, this costs a bit but not as much as the hair color)

20. How do you know your mom loves you?
Because we are her kids (Obviously, but there are all the times I say and show it)

21. Where is your mom's favorite place to go?
To Chick Fil (Well, not really top 10 but maybe top 20)
