This was...enlightening.
I saw this meme kicking around the web. Try it, I'm sure you'll learn something you didn't want to know... like how your children view you.
Jesse's answers in red, Libby's in green.
What is something mum always says to you?
That I never spend any time working.
I love you. That's pretty common.
What makes mum happy?
When I do jobs for you.Seeing the entire family together, all of us, like Auntie Esther.
What makes mum sad?
When I don't do jobs for you. When I don't do things the first time you ask.
[Must have forgotten to ask Libby this question.]
How does mum make you laugh?
"Says Jacques" jokes.
Saying funny little stuff.
What was mum like as a child?
How do I know what you were like as a child? That's a hard question. I really have no clue.
Energetic, giddy.
How old is mum?
31.
Aren't you 31?
How tall is mum?
How do I know how tall you are? You're 5-something. I'll just say 5' 4"...or do you just wish that was true?
Aren't you like 5 feet?
What is mum's favourite thing to do?
This is a hard one...you like to blog and play Tetris.
I'm just gonna take a guess here -- talk on the phone with Auntie Esther. That's one of your hobbies. You do that a lot.
What does mum do when you're not around?
Blog and play Tetris. You spend a lot of time studying, but it says what do you like to do, which is different.
Take a nap or study.
If mum becomes famous, what will it be for?
Well....it wouldn't be for playing an instrument, most likely. Probably being involved in some kind of strange accident. What?! It's not like you write books or anything!
Singing.
What is mum really good at doing?
There's not much. Just kidding! Making me feel like I don't work enough.
Being a mum.
What is mum not very good at doing?
Comforting me when I'm stressed.
Taking down a house... I've never seen you try.
What is mum's job?
You're unemployed.
What, technically, do you mean by "job"? If you meant "career," I'd say you're gonna be a teacher. You're training to be a teacher.
What's mum's favourite food?
Either Chinese or Chick-fil-A.
Hmmm.....have you ever told me that? I think I know that your favourite flavour is peppermint.
What makes you proud of mum?
That's a hard question. Can I skip this question?
That's she's my mum. And she's smart. And kind. And funny.
If mum were a cartoon character, who would she be?
You'd be...hmmmm....I don't know, I don't watch many cartoons.
I'd put you as one of the top-ranking cartoons. Your name would be Banns. [One of my nicknames]
What do you and mum do together?
We throw for the dogs, we travel to different cities.
Play games. [What kind of games?] Board games.
How are you and mum the same?
Both of us have brown eyes.
We both like to cook. Do you like to cook? [Yes, do you?] Yes, I especially like to bake pies with you.
How are you and mum different?
You're older than me.Our hair is a different colour and I'm not 31.
How do you know mum loves you?
Once every 1,000 years or so you buy me a video game.
'Cos you say it every day, practically like 600 times. You feed me, you hug me, you pay for our school.

A pessimist and an optimist!
That's so funny. My oldest is like Jesse and my yonugest is like Libby. I wonder if birth order plays that much of a role in their personalities.
I hope more mom's with multiple kids take this meme. I'd be very interested in the results.
I love the "how are you and mum different?" answers. Precious!
And your girls answers are so precious - what a sweetie.
