2. What makes mom happy? "Good decisions by the Supreme Court, getting her family together"
3. What makes mom sad? "When we don't come to the family reunions"
4. How does mom make you laugh? "She doesn't, much. Sometimes we talk about funny things kids do and that's funny."

6. How old is your mom? "61"

8. What is her favorite thing to do? "Babysit her grandkids (come on mom, you know you wanna...)"

I'm foregoing the right to tag anyone. It's interesting filling out a questionnaire about your mom that's intended for 5 year olds... makes you think.
