Interview with my kids

This deserves its own blog. There was this thingie going around on Facebook in which moms interviewed their children and shared the answers they gave. Here is my interview with my three oldest children, and here are their answers to the questions, written down just as they gave them.
(BTW, if you've never heard "Dead Skunk" before, you're missing out! While you're reading, look for the kids' iPod at the right of the page, click the play button, and enjoy some of their favorites.)
