Interview Tag

I really do want to post on the the fun things I did with my mom and sister but this has caught my eye and I must play along. It is a list of questions that you interview your children with and all the questions are about their perspective of you. Dangerous, a little. Fun, for sure. Eye opening, as always.

5. What do you think I was like as a child?
