A few of my friends asked their daughters these questions, and it was so cute to read them. So I thought I'd try it. Here's what Teda said:

This was enlightening to me, and a little sad for me too. Sad because the way she answered #1- when I asked her what I always say to her, she didn't go right to the lovey dovey things like I love you... she went right to the things like you can't do that, the negative things. I even came back and asked her a second time thinking she'd say something sweet. And when she didn't, I thought, yikes. This is a wake up call for me to really be more positive with her. She's soaking it all in. Well, this will be really fun to look back on when she's older, and even to revisit this and ask her these questions again in a few years. Hopefully I will have changed by then too! :)
