Questions to Ask Your Mother

My mother when asked some of these questions, she usually shrugs and says “I can’t remember”.

  • How did you feel when you first got married?
  • What was your first year of marriage like?
  • How did you feel when you first found out you were pregnant?
  • How did you feel when you held me for the first time?
  • What was I like as a baby?
  • What was I like growing up? Was I naughty? Quiet?
  • What was the first word I said?
  • What was my favorite book?
  • What was my favorite activity?
  • Did I grow up to be different than what you thought I’d be?

I think this would make a great family activity for a rainy day.  Throw in some popcorn, family albums and write every thing down in a notebook.  Think up your own questions and share them with us.
