What do Your Kids Think of You?

Every year in school the kids make us a Mother's Day card.  They seem to follow a template of questions provided by the teacher. It's always interesting to me to see what my son has to say. It can give you an insight into what they perceive about you or it can be just a reflection of, "I didn't know what to write, mom."

This is what my card said this year: “Mom – Tall (yeah, right!), blond, kind, loving sibling of Mike & Jeff,  Lover of pink (true) who fears snakes (true dat, hate them!), who needs a new car (not really), who gives kindness, who would like to see mountains (never talk about that!),  resident of Frisco TX.”

It makes me laugh the things he comes up with. To a kid, all adults seem tall. At 5'4" I'm only tall to him! :) I have 4 sisters but he only mentioned my 2 brothers. I guess it took up too much room to list all his aunts! LOL

One year he wrote that I like spaghetti (which is true) & need a new cell phone (which wasn’t true). We never know where he gets these things! It’s pretty funny to see what he writes.

So what do your kids think of you?
