I really enjoyed some of my kids' answers from last week so thought I'd join in again this week. The questions kind of set the kids up a bit so some of their answers were pretty comical. If you'd like to do your own post simply ask your kids these questions and post their answers on your blog. Then click on the above picture to take you to the blog you can link up with. It's fun and your kids' answers will crack you up!

Short Answers

I stumbled upon this little blog game a few weeks ago and thought I'd see how my kids responded to it. Basically the author just asks random questions of a couple of kids (little brothers or nephews I think, sorry I just started reading it :) just to see how they'd answer. Their answers are sometimes comical and funny, sometimes sweet, and often off the wall. So I thought why not? After subjecting my two sweet, not so little anymore children to it here are their answers:

Which is better, butter or cheese?

B: Cheese, cuz' it's just so good (can you tell she likes cheese, she asks for it daily).

E: Cheese tastes better I think. Know why? Because peanut butter sticks to the roof of your mouth.

How are donuts made?

B: With dough and clay. Then Daddy asked, "Do you cook it at all?" Nope!

E: They sprinkle sugar on it and just toast a bagel.

Why do trees change color in the fall?

B: Because leaves fall off of it.

E: Because it's the time of fall and fall's the time when leaves change color.

What do broccoli, carrots & cucumbers have in common?

B: They're vegetables. (She said it, like duh! you know that already)

E: What? I don't know? Me: Can you take a guess? E: Umm.... They're hard?

What's a tapestry?

B: A typestry? Me: No a tapestry. B: Ummm.... An instrument?

E: Shrugs his shoulders and then says, a tree?

That was kind of fun and it was definitely entertaining. If only I'd had my camera out for their faces. They were like why in the world are you asking me these things? Random. I love it. I think I'll be doing this one again soon. If you want to see how other kids answers just click on the button above.
