Interrogating My Children

I picked up this meme from some blog off Mormon Mommy Blogs (sorry I don't remember which one or I would totally link to you) and I thought it was fabulous. I was convinced my children were going to give horrible answers but they were surprisingly kind and loving. Maybe, just maybe I'm a better mom than I think.
