Conduct an impromptu interview with these funny questions to ask kids about their parents. I guarantee that their answers will be both enlightening and HILARIOUS! Ask them all or just choose a few! Keep record of their answers and the age they were when they answered them for them to look back at later!  Or share their answers on social media and challenge your friends to ask their kids the same things!

Sporadic interview questions are one of myfavorite things to do with my 3 year old. I will ask her the same series of questions just about every month. It's so fun to watch as some answers remain consistent while others fluctuate or change drastically over a short amount of time!

This is also why I use interview questions when I write updates to her birth mother. It is an easy way to show your child's personality and who they are at different developmental stages. It's a great way to see what they are thinking and learn more about who they are.

Asking your child questions about themselves is fun, but asking your child questions about (you) their parents is HILARIOUS!

You never know what they will say to some of the simplest of questions. Better yet, hearing their logic behind their answers can sometimes be even more enriching than the answer itself!

I challenge you to take this list of 88 funny questions to ask kids about their parents and try NOT to laugh as you interview them!
