No ice cream for breakfast!!!


I interviewed Monkey D today. She is 5 years old. It was fun to hear her answers. I did not expect quite a few of these, and they made for a good laugh.


Me - What is something I always says to you?

M.D. - I can't have ice cream in the morning.
(This is true, and she asks me way too often at breakfast time!)

Me - What makes me happy?
M.D. - When I make valentines for you.

Me - What makes me sad?
M. D. - You are sad when I am sad.
(This is true also!)

Me - How do I make you laugh?
M. D. - ummm, can we skip this question? I can't think of it.

Me - What was I like as a child?
M.D. - I think you were sweet and liked to play.

Me - How old am I?
M.D. - 15.

Me - How tall am I?
M.D. - Um...15 inches.
(As she answered this she looked from my toes to my head, counting to herself)

Me - What is my favorite thing to do?
M.D. - You play tennis.

Me - What do I do when you're not around?
M.D. - Laundry and stuff.

Me - If I become famous, what will it be for?
M.D. - Playing tennis on t.v.

Me - What am I really good at?
M.D. - Helping me with stuff and picking out Halloween costumes.

Me - What am I not very good at?
M.D. - You are always good at things.
Me - Can you think of something I am NOT good at?...
M.D. - But you are good at everything!
(I could tell she did NOT want to answer this one. I think she did not want to hurt my feelings.)

Me - What do I do for a job?
M.D. - A mom and a tennis player.
(Hmm, about now I'm thinking I should lay off the tennis a bit).

Me - What is my favorite food?
M.D. - I think pepperoni pizza, is that right?
(Not even close, but cute.)

Me - What makes you proud of me?
M.D. - I'm so proud when you give me candy.
(Hmmm, I wasn't expecting this one.)

Me - . If I were a cartoon character, who would I be?
M.D.- Spongebob.

Me - What do you and I do together?
M.D. - Go shopping.
(GROCERY shopping.)

Me - How are you and I the same?
M.D. - We both have blue eyes.

Me - How are you and I different?
M.D. - I like orange and you like pink.

Me - How do you know I love you?
M.D. - Because you are so sweet to me.

Me - What do I like most about your daddy?
M.D. - When he helps you, and you are proud he is a dentist.

Me - Where is my favorite place to go?
M.D. - Um, Chinese food.
(Completely out of the blue - we RARELY go to Chinese.)

Tami said...

That is so cute! Great idea to post her answers on your blog. What sweet answers! I love it that she wouldn't tell you anything that you weren't good at. I love your height and age. I would be proud of you if you gave me candy too!

Aren't their little brains so interesting?

I love this! I was just wondering though why can't there be ice cream for breakfast once in a while???????

When Gracie was here this morning with her cousins, Avery begged me to make some "nilla" pudding. After we all had a little bowl of it, I noticed Gracie's was untouched, but wasn't surprised, since she has never liked pudding. I said, didn't you like it, Gracie? She looked at me with those tender eyes, and said, "I'm just full". Knowingly, I reassured her that if she didn't like it, that was just fine with me and she wouldn't hurt my feelings. She just smiled. Love her!

Shelli! This is such a good idea! Do you mind if I steal the idea? Gracie seems like such a sweetheart! I wish I knew your kids better. They all seem so great, they must be then! I can't believe you got another dog! What a cutie though. We want a dog so bad, but I refuse to change two sets of diapers plus shovel more poop from a dog.....ahhh, someday....

This is absolutely the most darling, cute thing ever. I am totally going to copy you.

Krista said...

Too cute... I'm scared of how my kids would answer some of those, ha ha.

Leslie said...

What a cutie, I always love her responses to "life" in general. I think she should at least get ice cream in the morning on her birthday....what do you say to that mom?
