Elle graduated from preschool this week and, as in years past, Miss Mikel gave each parent a book of their child's artwork, things they've achieved and the funniest list of questions/answers. Throughout the year, Mikel asks the kids questions and then writes their answers down verbatim. Here's some examples:
What is your mom afraid of?
* Some answers included spiders, tarantulas, dogs & cats, snakes, "ghostes" ... One girl said, "My mom's not afraid of anything, but she screams when she sees spiders." Elle's answer? I'm apparently afraid of "dinosaurs and snowflakes." Those creepy little snowflakes.
When I grow up, I will have ...
* Lots of answers about pets (a Nemo, a puppy, a rooster, even an elephant). One girl said, "A bronchiosaurus. But my mom is done with pets." I can only imagine how many times that mom has said that exact line. I'm done with pets! Elle's answer: "My mom and dad said I can't have ANY babies OR cats or dogs or chihuahuas." Meanest parents ever! Guess you can tell we've had the 'Mommy's all done having babies' talk. :)
Other questions were "What makes you lucky?", "Who do you love?", "Who is your favorite friend?" But my favorite question/answer was this...
What does your mom do while you are at preschool?
Elle: "She goes to a fun place with shopping and massages. It's really, really fun!"
I would LOVE to know where that really fun place is! I go shopping and have massages every time she goes to school? SWEET! Admittedly, I am very lucky to be a stay-at-home mom -- to go volunteer at school, take Elle to the zoo or wherever, spend time with grandma ..... There's obviously also plenty of daily monotony (cleaning, laundry, errands). I just had no idea that Elle's perception of what I do during the day involves shopping and massages. I'd really like to know where that fun place is, too. Anyone wanna come with??
