I never know what to say about myself. Yet I wanted to join the “five things about me” party at My Cup 2 Yours. So I got to thinking, What if someone at school walked up to my boys and said, “Tell me about your mom,” what would they say?
I realize that by actually asking them that question, I’m walking WAY out on a limb twig here. But now that I’ve wondered, I can’t tame the curiosity tiger.
So, instead of letting them wrestle the night away, I asked them to give it some thought. The following is a list of their answers.
(The 12 year old interviewed the five year old.)
My 12 year old son’s list: (He just informed me that he is over 12 and a half, and technically, I should be saying he’s 13 years old. I love having him watch over my shoulder.) Anyway, the list…
- Nice (sometimes)
- Likes cleanliness (and deodorant)
- Hates Star Wars
- Likes Chick flicks
- Good blogger (Aww, that’s a sweet thing to say!)
- computer freak!! (Freak?)
- Pet peeve is teenagers (Really??? Well, they do tend to baffle me at times…but I love them. Honest.)
- Cool (sometimes) (I like the qualification, Lol!)
- oh, and a little out of whack. (What?? What’s that supposed to mean? Oooooh, he’s telling me it’s teenager language. I told you they baffle me. Can any one help me here?)
My 10 Year old son’s list: (the man of few words, but a big heart)
- Very nice
- Intelligent (I’ll take that!)
- Tall
- Loves computers
- Happy
My 5 year old son’s list:
- Smart, but mean
- Sometimes happy
- Way more cooler than Sid (The Science Kid) (Be still my heart!)
- Skinny (He’s definitely my favorite child)
- Lovely
- Kisses you a lot (Lol!)
- Cares about you all the time (ABSOLUTELY!)
I love my boys. Seriously. They’re wild and crazy and I wouldn’t trade them for the world.
They also just helped me out with my Five Things About Me post for Talking About Thursday! The only thing I might add is that I love Jesus, want to please Him, and fail a lot.
I’m so glad you stopped by!

Those are great! My favorite is "Smart but mean". Sounds like a mom to me!
I love it! So cute, funny, and sweet all rolled into one list you have to keep forever!!
Your boys sound way, too fun.:)
Isn't mothering great?
Thanks for stopping by the Ponderosa.
I'd print their answers out, have them "decorate" their piece and then frame them! :)
Thanks for stopping by, it's nice to meet you too. I love your list. I never thought to even let my boys make one. Guess I'm to scared of what they might say. Like Mom freaks out all the time. Hope you have a great day!!
How fun to learn more about you! I'm so glad you joined in today, and I love the fact that you interviewed your kids.
How great to be classified as a "cool" mom by your kids. And a great blogger...yes! :)
Thanks so much for joining in today!
Genny
I like how you asked your kids, that's cool:)
Also any child that says I'm skinny is automatically the favorite!!
I love that you asked your kids, and they sure did have some cute responses. This'll be a something to keep forver!
Haha, great way to meet you. I like the kids list.
Have a nice day.
Stopping from My Cup 2 Yours.
PS: I became a follower of your blog.
Ha ! my sons are 13, 10, 7 and 5...so I had to laugh at your lists. I suspect my sons would say very similar things!
I love your creative twist on the 5 things about you. Kids are so honest and thoughtful. Be proud of those babes!
Nice to meet you...
Be well,
Kellie
