Today, I found a cute series of interview questions to ask their kids about their Mommy. I videotaped their responses, but wanted to write them down here, too. Enjoy!

M: What makes Mommy sad?
C: When you hit you.
M: How does Mommy make you laugh?
C: Uh, when you do this (insert silly face).
M: What was Mommy like as a little girl?
