Kids, Mother's Day Edition, (mostly) unedited

Months ago there was this thing going around social media, just questions mothers would ask their kids. And then they'd post the answers. I wrote them all out in my journal. When we were in Leavenworth at the end of January, the kids and I found ourselves in a coffee shop while Matt went skiing, and I took that opportunity to get their answers. I never posted them anywhere, but in honor of Mother's Day, I'll share them here.

1. What is something I always say to you?
Suzannah: "Stop."
Isaac: "Who is my love?"

(My note: We were in Leavenworth at the time. There was lots of sledding.)

3. What makes you sad?
Suzannah: Not playing XBox.
Isaac: When Zannah hits me.
(Suzannah: "AHEM. It's not always on purpose.")
