Jo of Mother of Teenagers tagged me to ask my daughters some questions. ‘Oh no, not another tag post to do,’ I thought to myself – they seem to take me so much longer to write than any other post! However, I thought it would be interesting to hear their answers and when I read Catie’s reasons behind starting this tag, I was even more intrigued. This is what she said about it:
‘I went on the hunt for questions and came across this article in the Telegraph 25 questions to ask your child. This was just what I was looking for…
For an intriguing and often entertaining insight into how your children see the world, take a look at these 25 questions for kids…The answers might just surprise you…

I tag the following lovely bloggers to bribe their kids/step kids into doing it, if they have the inclination and haven’t done so already:
Trista at Domesticated Momster
Bridget at Bridie by the Sea
Prabs at Absolutely Prabulous
Check out their blogs too 🙂
Awww thanks for the tag. It’s true I don’t do them anymore but this could be fun. Of course…if my site ever gets fixed… (Loved the saggy bum and shouting for no reason bit. Cracked me up.)
Good luck with your site – that must be very stressful. These tag posts take me ages, but this one was an interesting one. I was surprised my eldest did it. As for the bum comment…really? Not that I’m supportive, loving, generous and kind?!!
Alison it’s hilarious that both your Teens and my youngest chose a superpower that would let them get around easier-does this make them lazy or is it trending amongst Teens at the moment?? Also glad to hear that I am not the only mother of Teens that shouts!!! That’s two trends. Sadly my bum didn’t get a mention though!
Mine are always moaning that we live in a town with bad transport links, so they would definitely LOVE that superpower. As for shouting – how else can we make ourselves heard over their music!
I have one teenage son at home but I’d be interested to know what my 3 littles answer would be as well. Thanks for the tag!
It certainly gives some insight into their minds!
