and don't we all love a good bald man? :)
Oh Lord...this was too much. Absolutely loved it. I think I will try it with my kids as well. What insight into their minds!
oh my gosh, that was great :)
and gotta agree with the bald ;)
This is just the best thing every. Truly. Love it, love it, love it. Those boys are awesome. And so is their mama :)
Yes, we love the bald men!
I loved reading what your precious ones think. And you should feel great reading it!
I like the Elastagirl. That is priceless. I don't think Kade even thought about 6Teen - he loves that show, too!
Thank you for posting yours.
Misses.
I love this! I'm so going to make Logan do this. Very unschooly of me huh? LOL.
Fantastic, the contrast between the kids' answers: so funny and touching.
Great idea!
This was so awesome I had to do it too. I'm such a follower. ;)
As I was leaving a comment on Che and Fidel, I noticed your name which happens to be mine as well. I couldn't help but click and was pleasantly surprised to find that you also unschool. I plan to unschool my little one and am quickly devouring as many of John Holt's books as I can.
The answers your kids gave are priceless. I normally don't wish my little guy to be any older than he is, but I'd so love to hear his answers.
Maddie, I LOVE this! Did they write down their answers, or did they tell them to you?
I typed their answers as they told them to me.
I did this with my kids and added questions for them to answer about their dad too. I had a good time with it and will treasure their answers.
