Answers given by 2nd grade school children to the following questions:
Why did God make mothers?
- She's the only one who knows where the scotch tape is.
- Mostly to clean the house.
- To help us out of there when we were getting born.
How did God make mothers?
- He used dirt, just like for the rest of us.
- Magic plus super powers and a lot of stirring.
- God made my Mom just the same like he made me. He just used bigger parts.
What ingredients are mothers made of?
- God makes mothers out of clouds and angel hair and everything nice in the world and one dab of mean.
- They had to get their start from men's bones. Then they mostly use string, I think.
Why did God give you your mother and not some other mom?
- We're related.
- God knew she likes me a lot more than other people's moms like me.
What kind of little girl was your mom?
- My Mom has always been my mom and none of that other stuff.
- I don't know because I wasn't there, but my guess would be pretty bossy.
- They say she used to be nice.
What did mom need to know about dad before she married him?
- His last name.
- She had to know his background. Like is he a crook? Does he get drunk on beer?
- Does he make at least $800 a year? Did he say NO to drugs and YES to chores?
Why did your mom marry your dad?
- My dad makes the best spaghetti in the world. And my Mom eats a lot.
- She got too old to do anything else with him.
- My grandma says that Mom didn't have her thinking cap on.
Who's the boss at your house?
- Mom doesn't want to be boss, but she has to because dad's such a goof ball.
- Mom. You can tell by room inspection. She sees the stuff under the bed.
- I guess Mom is, but only because she has a lot more to do than dad.
What's the difference between moms & dads?
- Moms work at work and work at home and dads just go to work at work.
- Moms know how to talk to teachers without scaring them.
- Dads are taller & stronger, but moms have all the real power 'cause that's who you got to ask if you want to sleep over at your friend's.
- Moms have magic, they make you feel better without medicine.
What does your mom do in her spare time?
- Mothers don't do spare time.
- To hear her tell it, she pays bills all day long.
What would it take to make your mom perfect?
- On the inside she's already perfect. Outside, I think some kind of plastic surgery.
- Diet. You know, her hair. I'd diet, maybe blue.
If you could change one thing about your mom, what would it be? (The answers to this question are my absolute favorite!)
- She has this weird thing about me keeping my room clean. I'd get rid of that.
- I'd make my mom smarter. Then she would know it was my sister who did it and not me.
- I would like for her to get rid of those invisible eyes on the back of her head.
I'll bet the pink text answers would be different in many DD/TTWD homes. LOL
Hope this gives you a good laugh or at least a giggle!!!

ReplyDeleteCat - these are just precious! ...."I wasn't there, but I'd guess pretty bossy."
So cute :)
I still have a cookbook my son class made in Grade 1 and they told their teacher how to make their favourite recipe. I don't know how much prompting it took but they are so cute.
My son's was broccoli with cheese (quite the recipe) and I haven't looked at it in a while but is something like
80 pounds of broccoli with the hard parts and everything, you buy it
then you cook it in the stove for 2 hours
and so on.....they were so precious......
lol......"to hear her tell it, she pays bills all day long." :D
I know what you mean Lillie - I have a cookbook from my youngest son in 2nd or 3rd grade and the recipes are so cute. :)
DeleteGlad you enjoyed them.

This was great! 2nd graders are some of my favorite people in the world. They aren't old enough to have pat answers and they are still little enough to express whatever is on their heart in whatever words pour out. In a lot of ways, they also have some pretty straight up theology too. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Susie. They are great aren't they. Never know what is going to come out next! ;)

My son is in 2nd grade. I would love to hear his answers on these questions!
ReplyDeleteThis was really funny. Thank you for the laughs!
You are very welcome LM. I would love to hear your son's answers also! Please post if you get them. ;)

I just LOVE little people! They have the ability to make you laugh 'til you cry!
ReplyDeleteWhen my son was in the second grade he won a medal: Highest Academic Achievement in English.
He was proud as punch, as he should have been. He wore that medal all over the neighbourhood, announcing to anyone within earshot that he won if because he was:
" The GOODEST in English"
( it was a small school...lol)
I know what you mean Wilma - they are awesome. Congrats to your son on the "GOODEST in English" Award. He should be very proud.

ROFLMBO Kids are the best commedians ever! "dad's a goof ball" but at least "he makes $800 a year"
ReplyDeleteToo funny. I liked the "dab of mean," that's pretty accurate I think :)

DeleteGlad you enjoyed it CG. My kids would definitely have agreed with the "dab of mean". :)

Smiling like crazy! Perfect on the inside, plastic surgery on the outside! Too cute! I always loved all the things my kids said when they were little, but they never said any of the really great things when the video camera was on! How I wish I had recordings of all of those things!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cat. ;-)

Know what you mean Irishey - I would love to have recordings of what my characters said when they were young. :)

Thanks for the cheer-up after the nasty two days I've had. I think I'm going to go find my kids answers when they wrote something like this. I need more happy. lol
ReplyDeleteHey Minelle - sorry you have a rough few days - hope things get better. Happy I could give you a bit of a giggle. Amazing how we parents look through the eyes of our children isn't it. :)
