I first read this on Angela James’ blog, then Shannon Stacey’s and thought it was fun. I tried asking my 2 (almost 3) year old, but he didn’t really give me much. Just kept answering Mickey Mouse or Hi-5. So then today I read Wylie Kinson and Amy Ruttan’s kids’ answers and thought I’d ask my older two children.
I first asked my 7 year old daughter and then my 9 year old son – separately. Her answers are on the left, his on the right.

Oh, I LOVE their answers!!
And had a private chuckle at your ‘listening’ issues. I have them too
‘to the moon and back’– we try to outdo that one too… my oldest boy won with ‘to infinity and back’, using the Toy Story line.
by Wylie Kinson March 7th, 2009 at 9:11 am ♦You know, MG. My kids would NOT answer these very nicely. Your kids LOVE you and you’re clearly an awesome mommy.
by Jennifer McKenzie March 7th, 2009 at 9:26 am ♦Yeah, I’m SO not doing this. LOL.
*mwah* Nice to know they appreciate you…even though it probably doesn’t seem like it.
Absolutely adorable! And Bugs Bunny is a great character to be — rascally and fun. They could have very well answered Cruella de Ville or Ursula the witch.
