Interview with OUR children

I was catching up on my fave photo blogger friend and loved how her kids answered ten simple questions. Since it was way late to wake any of them up to satisfy my desire to do the same, I decided I’d em them the questions right away and wait till am and ask them to check their ems. Yes, em, all our kids have gmail accounts. Even the 7 year old. I know, I know. That’s how they keep in touch with their dad when he is away. But after a few heart wrenching letters that went something like this:
Dearest daddy! Whin are you coming hom? I rilly mis you a hole lot! Mom is sad and she macks us klin ol the time and skool. Wel, she duz tak us playces a lot, but we klin a lot to. Plis, cum hom soon. Love, signed the 2 youngest.

we had to talk and redirect the em writing to more positive and more creative. It has been a huge blessing. Their writing has improved and they figured the spell check feature too!

SO, here are the answers of our 4 children ages 12, almost 13(b), 10, eleven in a few weeks(g), 9(g) and 7(g). They didn’t waste time in answering the questions. In fact, the oldest and youngest hit send just 5 min later after checking their mail and went on with their day! I wished they took a little longer to ponder the questions before they spewed the answers. But no nonsense here. No spiritual kind of thinking. Dry and to the point, unlike my friend’s kids. But oh well, time is short these days with dad home. We got to get packing to leave on a week long trip and they can feel my busyness. I marked 1 thru 4 according to the child number, not names.
