I saw a few of my friends sharing this on Facebook last week and really enjoyed reading their kids answers to the questions. As expected the answers ranged from sweet to funny. On Friday while we were eating lunch I decided to ask Jackson the questions. It had been a long week: John worked late every night and it rained every day. I was exhausted, I was done and my mood was about as gloomy as the weather.
So over lunch I asked him these questions and his answers totally made my day. Seeing me through his eyes made me laugh, smile and believe that maybe I am getting this parenting gig right.
