Ask your DCKs how many teeth they have. Next ask them how many teeth mommy has. Their answers crack me up!

Can't wait to try that on my dcks today! I love asking them questions to see what they'll say. We really should write these kinds of things down; we could write a book I'm sure.
Do you ever create questionnaires such as for Mother's Day or Father's Day? Their answers are hilarious!

I so need to do that. I love it when they tell me what happened at home. If their parents knew how much they share with us, lol.

omgosh I know. I knew about mom's new boyfriend (recently divorced) loooooong before mom mentioned it to me. It's kind of funny. I did refrain from saying, "oh THIS is the famous [boyfriend]!! It's nice to finally meet you after I've heard SO much about you from {dcb}!!!"

I had one DCB4 tell me about mom's new ankle bracelet for drinking more than her friends. (monitoring device) When she came to pick him up, he pointed to her leg when she wasn't looking. Cracked me up & I couldn't say a word.

Apparently my 3 yr old & I both have ten. I caught him in the middle of something so I don't think he wanted to bother counting higher.

The average parent has 4 or 5 teeth here.

I asked my 3.5 yr old DCG

Me: "K, how many teeth do you have?"
K: "Hmmm, I don't know...I'll go look." (goes to mirror and proceeds to count)
Me: "Well, how many do you have?"
K: "I'm not sure. I think I might have 13 but the ones in front keep getting in the way."
Me: "How many does your mom have?"
K: "I dunno...probably enough to eat with because she eats crunchy stuff for breakfast"
Me: "How many does your little brother (age 1.5) have?"
K: "Enough to bite me because he does that all the time at home"

While I am giggling at her reply another one of my DCK's (age 4.5 yrs) pipes up and says "My grandma has 4 teeth in her mouth and a bunch in a glass by the bathroom sink"

Have you ever done the questionnaire type things with your DCK's?

Ask them to answer questions such as

My mom is really good at ___________________

My dad is taller than a ____________________

My dad spends his time ____________when not working

My mom's favorite food to cook is ________________

My dad gets mad when _______________________

My mom's favorite thing to wear is __________________

If your mom could have 3 wishes, what would they be?

What does you dad really want for his birthday?

What is your mom's favorite bed time story?


Be warned though...some of the things they say will seriously crack you up!!

I usually do this type of Q & A session when we are waiting for something or during a transition time to help pass the time. I try to ask "real life" questions about their parent's work or hobbies etc...

Hearing the kids' perspective about every day life is a fantastic look inside their little brains. Hilarious too!

I ask what Mom or Dad does all day at work, their fav thing to do with their child, fav book, movie, their age, their fav thing to cook, how tall they are, just lots of random questions.
One thing though, if you can get each child to answer questions out of earshot of the others, it works better. Otherwise, you'll get all the same answers from child #2 onward.

Oh one year we even did a little recipe book for Thanksgiving. I asked each dcp to contribute their favorite holiday recipe and I asked each child what their favorite holiday food was, plus how to make it. OMG talk about cute!!

Love to see how all your kids answered the teeth question. I forgot all about it this a.m.!!

I was fixing a ponytail on a DCG3 & I said, "My mom use to fix my hair." She starred at me in disbelief & said, "You have a mom? She must really be old, like 23 or something."

I am so doing this today!

They like to talk about how old their parents are. They often say things like 17 and 24, or something.

When they asked how old I will be on my birthday this month their little eyes bugged out of their heads when I said 26.

My DCB age 3.5 told me "My daddy was mean to my mommy and made her cry" (She's 8 months pregnant). The next day he came in and said "My daddy bought my mommy flowers. She's happy now." lol They're so cute

Yesterday I went to my service learning site for a class and there was a writing assignment on the overhead. The teacher asked the kids (special education class; ages 6-13): If your could make up a holiday what would it be and how would you celebrate? And the answers were very random and hilarious!

One of the kids said "Laugh Your Butt-Off Day" where it would be like a carnival and the teacher would dress up like a clown because he was balding and had big feet. Another boy said "______ ("me"/him) Appreciation Day" where everyone would appreciate him and the president would appoint him as the new president of the USA. One boy even said homework day (he really likes homework and always asks for extra assignments). But the best was a from one boy who said "Kiss A Woman Day" where guys would have to kiss a woman. Which was cute, but then he made a list of exceptions: "unless she's ugly, or bald, or has bad breath, etc...." I laughed so hard I started to cry!

That is awesome!

ME: How many teeth do you have?
Q- Ummm, I'm not really too sure. Probably 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12.
ME- How many teeth does your mom have?
Q- 12. I think everyone must have 12.
