Since you already know too much about me as it is, I decided to interview my children with 15 of my favorite questions from the poll. Their answers had to be short and simple. They ended up being pretty silly, and let's admit it, somewhat sarcastic. Hey, they are MY children. They're also always trying to make laugh. Usually, they succeed.
Remember now, my kids are kind, thoughtful people. If this is a first look at my blog, please know that I encouraged creative answers from the older two. This is what they wrote.
