an interview with Rachel

I've seen these interviews before on the blogs I read, but never tried it.  Today I decided to give it a shot.  Trying to keep her attention long enough to answer them all was a challenge (she was busy looking outside at the snow falling down), but we made it to the end.  Some of the answers didn't surprise me, but others did. Anyway, enjoy!

1. What is something Mommy always says to you?


Uh...Don't get in trouble.

2. What makes Mommy happy?

Good stuff...(I asked her, "Like what?")...like being nice and kind and hugging people and loving people and share with people and that's all the good stuff....and playing nicely.

3. What makes Mommy sad?

When I do bad things...("Like what?")...being mean and fighting and don't be nice and don't share and pull a card to red.

4. How does Mommy make you laugh?

Tickling and laughing.

5. What was Mommy like as a child?

She had yellow hair and skin and a blue dress and a red dress and a necklace and bracelets. (She's referring to the dresses my mom saved of mine that Rachel now uses to dress up in when she's at my mom's house.)


6. How old is Mommy?

I forget....how old are you, Mommy?


7. How tall is Mommy?

We have to measure you first.

8. What is Mommy's favorite thing to do?

I don't know....is it cooking?

9. What does Mommy do when you're not around?

Clean and cook.

10. If Mommy becomes famous, what will it be for?

What's famous?

11. What is Mommy really good at?

Games....that's the only thing.

12. What is Mommy not very good at?

That doctor's game I got for Christmas. (She's referring to "Operation.")

13. What does Mommy do for her job?

I don't know...to take care of me and Rebecca and cook and go shopping with me for Christmas presents at Christmastime.

14. What is Mommy's favorite food?

I don't know.  (Then she asked me what it was...I told her it was pizza.)

15. If Mommy were a cartoon character, who would she be?

Um, maybe Scooby Doo?  And remember that bear who steals picnic baskets?  (I have to add that she's never ever seen Scooby Doo or Yogi Bear, so I have no idea why she chose those!)

16. What do you and Mommy do together?

Play games and play with my kitchen and painting and we have lots of fun.


17. How are you and Mommy the same?

Because you had yellow hair when you were a little girl and we have the same color eyes.

18. How are you and Mommy different?

Because you have brown hair and I have yellow hair.


19. How do you know Mommy loves you?

Because I'm your favorite four year old girl.

20. Where is Mommy's favorite place to go?

Maybe Meijer.  (Ha!  This one made me laugh.  Meijer is where I do almost all of my grocery shopping, so she knows I go there all the time.  Hardly my favorite store, but yes, I do spend a lot of time there!)
