Can you hear me laughing?!?!
Those answers are AWESOME!!!
"I shudder at the thought". MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Jane, you totally cracked with that one!!!!!!!
So he wants you to be a sumo wrestler because he wants you to have a wedgie? I don't get that one.
You are so brave to ask your children! I'll have to ponder this some more before I ask mine and even then I might not post it. Thanks for sharing.
yikes, I just realized how my daughter's first answer sounded! I just posted and tried to clarify that point! I DO NOT SMACK HER IN THE FACE OR GESTURE ABOUT IT IN ANY WAY!
