Since Cooper has started to school, Brisco and I have had lots of time together-alone. We’ve done practically everything with one another, and enjoyed most every minute. Other than the occasional bowl of oatmeal spilled all over the kitchen or the random basket of folded clothes strewn about the living room, things have been quite nearly perfect.
He’s very excited about having his own school time, so I try to prepare something for us to do together every day. Whether it is coloring or cooking, glittering or gluing, lately, the two of us have been pondering deep thoughts and examining nature and whatever else a four-year old boy can think up to do when he’s got his mother all to himself for seven hours a day.
I began thinking that with all our time together, this kid should be getting to know his mom pretty well. I mean, little kids can do lots of talking, and the number of questions they’ll ask is limitless. So just what does this little guy know about his mommy? Thanks to a set of creative interview questions I borrowed from a friend, I just found out.
1. What is something mommy always says to you?
“Don’t pick your nose.”
2. What makes mommy happy?
“Coloring you a picture.”
3. What makes mommy sad?
“When I make you have to spank me.”
4. How does mommy make you laugh?
“Being funny.”
5. What was mom like as a child?
“Like me!”
6. How old is your mom?
“37”
7. How tall is your mom?
“40 pounds. Really tall.”
8. What is her favorite thing to do?
“Play catch with me.”
9. What does mom do when you're not around?
“I don’t know?”
10. If your mom becomes famous, what will it be for?
“She won’t.”
11. What is your mom really good at?
“Exercising.”
12. What is your mom not very good at?
“Playing softball. Well, not anymore.”
13. What does mom do for her job?
“Computer stuff for Grandmother.”
14. What is your mom's favorite food?
“Peppers.”
15. What makes you proud of your mom?
“When she gives me ice cream!”
16. What do you and your mom do together?
“School and cook.”
17. How are you and your mom the same?
“We’re not.” (Upon further consideration) “We both have brown in our eyes.”
18. How are you and your mom different?
“You don’t like ice cream and pancakes and I DO!”
19. Where is mom's favorite place to go?
“To Yankee Stadium and the mountains.”
20. How do you know mommy loves you?
“Because you tell me!”
What can I say; the kid knows me pretty well. It seems our first few weeks at home together have definitely been time well spent.
And that’s All in a day’s work!
