When I posted the kids answers to these questions about me, Harmzie left a comment noting that she thought it would be great to turn these questions around to be about dad to celebrate father’s day. Well in the southern hemisphere, Father’s Day is this coming Sunday and I thought that I would take her lead and do just that. As with last time I have written the responses in age order 10, 8, 5 and 3 and I have included my answers as well. The baby just goo’s every time we talk to him, so he wasn’t included.Mr I chose not to read this before publication, so it will interesting to see his response!
