Jack was tagged on my friend Teresa's blog and gave the following answers to these questions. Remember, he is a nine-year-old boy. But I'm pleased he instinctively knows how to develop a theme.

1. What is something mom always says to you? Hi Jack.
2. What makes mom happy? Me.
3. What makes mom sad? Me being gone.
4. How does mom make you laugh? When she bangs her head on the air conditioner on the way to SOS Drug. [An outside unit hanging at head level by one of the parking spaces in the back.]
5. What was mom like as a child? A child.
6. How old is your mom? 45, no 44.
   
7. How tall is your mom? 4 feet? 5 feet?
8. What is your mom's favorite thing to do? Drink Tab. [Then when prodded for something with more substance] Swim.
9. What does your mom do when you're not around? Stuff. How should I know?
10. If your mom becomes famous, what will it be for? Drinking Tab. Swimming.
11. What is your mom really good at? Drinking Tab. Swimming.
12. What is your mom not very good at? Jumping off cliffs.
13. What does your mom do for her job? Nothing yet. [I guess that's sort of true.]
14. What is your mom's favorite food? Tortellini. Ramen. [I think he's projecting his favorite foods that I eat when he eats them. But, yeah, pasta definitely rates.]
15. What makes you proud of your mom? She's funny and she works hard.
16. If your mom were a cartoon character, who would she be? Edd. [Of Ed, Edd and Eddie. Apparently Edd is the one who always likes everything to be really organized. When a neighbor boy overheard us talking about it, he said "You let Jack watch that show?" Great.]
17. What do you and your mom do together? Stuff. Read.
18. How are you and your mom the same? We both eat ramen.
19. How are you and your mom different? She drinks Tab. I drink root beer.
20. How do you know your mom loves you? Because she likes me. If she didn't like me she wouldn't be with me.

I tag my sister Maryann (who I wish would blog more) and my friend Shelley (who I thought wasn't blogging anymore, but I just discovered she and her husband have a new blog). I know they aren't little kids, but they both have moms!
