A couple days ago I found this fun questionnaire on Pinterest. I tried it out on my 7 and 9 year old daughters, and as you can see below, I got some rather funny answers.

Have you ever given your kids this kind of questionnaire? We thought it was fun, and it had me wishing I’d done something similar when our older kids were small. I am off to attack breakfast– oatmeal with butter and brown sugar this morning– and then we will jump into school. Happy Monday to you!

What fun answers! As I read yours, I tried to think how I would answer that for my own mother, and hesitantly wondering what answers my child would give. I’m not sure I want to ask him some of these questions. 🙂
The one that cracked me up the most was my 9yo saying my favorite place to go is bed. Which is definitely true some days. And, like you, I was unsure what my kids would answer– I personally think they truthfully could have come up with something way more embarrassing for #12. 🙂
#16 was precious. How fun!
I love it! Sometimes bed is my favorite place to go also. Zzzzzz
Jackjack did a similar questionnaire in kindergarten–he remembered my age correctly but decided that I weigh 30 pounds. My girlfriends and I had a good laugh about that one.
What fun! I love these kind of questionnaires. I was glad to see there wasn’t a weight question. 😉 Too funny that you are compared to Mary Poppins and your favorite place to go is bed. Thanks for the smile — I was just in a bit of a slump after reading some political junk. I feel much better now. 🙂 I have to go do this now with my kiddos — can’t wait to see how they answer.
That’s awesome! SO FUNNY!!
Hi Mary!!
Loved this! We too are big Dutch Blitz fans…its time for a new deck of cards here, ours got lots of wear and tear over the holidays. We just started back to school today. I feel the same way that you do about being nostalgic for Christmas vacation. I can’t believe it’s over already. Here’s to summer and more Dutch Blitz!
I too would be a bit nervous about some of those answers. I love it that Dutch Blitz was the answer to favorite thing to do and thing you do with her. How great for her to feel like when you are spending time with her it’s your best place to be. That’s a gift I hope I am giving to my children. Maybe we’ll do this tomorrow and call it part of school with out them knowing that’s what it is. It really made me smile. Thanks.
My daughter had a questionnaire similar to this one the beginning of the school year. While the questions were not the same but had ones like: your favorite color is, what would you do with a million dollars, what is your favorite book, who is your favorite celebrity, what is your favorite subject and why, if you had to work a job–what would you like to do today, etc. She showed it to me and was a good way for the kids to get to know each other and their teacher.
I think this would be a great questionnaire to give to my adult children to ask not only of themselves but of me, grandma.
