HAHAH!!! i cracked UP at so many of these!! your people are awesome and your commentary even better! great post sis... still giggling at the age one. LOL! <3
This made me want to know your family! And your answer to #12 suddenly made me understand my kids' answers to that question. I think that they, too, fear the tears. "Don't get Mom started again!"
I loved this, Amber. Your kids are great...and I got ticked at the eyebrow waggle. I was AFRAID to ask my husband the answers to these questions!
Hey...I cannot stand repetitive noises either. And how sweet that they're in awe of your organizational skills!
SO glad you did this, friend.
This is super cute. Your family is adorable (so are you).
HA your family is great! What fun to read their answers.
Loved this!
So true with the stimulus and the red pen...and the hallelujah chorus...and all the answers for what you do when they're not around.
We're bookwormish, too AND looove that same seafood place (we usually go there for our anniversary)...and those things you say to your kids? I say those, too, lol.
There is nothing wrong with being a bookworm. I resemble that remark. And constant noise drives me insane. I have perfected the death stare which sometimes silences it.
Wonderful family...wish I was included..
Lurve this. I am the queen of hypersensitivity to repetitive sound. Wonder how I can type...?
Me likey candles, too.
You've got an entirely great fam.
I t.h.o.u.g.h.t. I was a good organizer. Turns out...I'm not. Perception is reality. :)
Again - how did my list miss #21? Oh well.
And how come everybody else has kids who answer nice cartoon characters, whereas my son answered Elmer Fudd!?
You have such a lovely family! Then again, you knew that. :o)
What sweet answers! this is one of my favorite Meme's going around!
Boy, your son's & husband's answers were very similar. I thought son's answer to #15 would make me cry, too.
Fun to find out what they really think about you...and it all made me love you even more!
So cool! Love this questionnaire. May have to try it myself. Loved all the answers...hee hee!
Hi Amber!
I'm Judd Corizan and I am the administrator for the blog Sunday Stealing. Every week we search the blogosphere and steal someone's meme. This week we stole yours. We give you full credit, of course and provide a link back to your blog. We are the most popular Sunday meme on the internet. We have 30 some players who do our memes. In fact we invite you to join us in future weeks. We have a great bunch of bloggers playing, who comment on each other's memes every week! A lot of our previous "victims of our theft" are now weekly players. It usually publishes between 8 PM Saturday night (EST) to Sunday at 12 AM (EST)Thanks a lot! Have a great weekend!
Oh this is so sweet and funny too. Loved it.
This is a great meme. My favorite was the organizer for the President- that made me laugh. I think you would do a good job!
Hi, here from Sunday Stealing, urm, Sunday Complimenting You Via Imitation.
When your son starts a blog, will ya let me know? I think I recognize me in him. Except when you get old you aren't called a punk. :-)
Very clever that you involved the family and "the truth."
Fun! Makes me want to meet you irl more!!
That was fun! I love that your son's answer to the question about you as a kid was just a mystified "bangs?". That reminded me of something my OWN boy would say.
