Let me think. I don’t know. She’s not very good at fixing cars.

As far as I’m concerned, it’s the ice cream shop because everyone loves ice cream around here.

22. What is your mom’s favorite thing about your dad?
Because he’s nice.

It’s interesting how she is learning to separate herself and her likes from mine. With younger kids, it’s painfully obvious that it’s just all about them!

Okay, your turn!
