Maternal Instincts

1. If you're out shopping and hear a baby cry, what's your first thought?

"Woo-hoo! Not mine!" Followed by, "Poor mom."

2. Are the passengers in your car required to buckle their seat belts regardless of age?

Yes. But most people do without urging anymore.

3. Do you ever feel the need to clean/straighten your loved ones? With your own spit?

Yes to the first question. Occasionally to the second, but not lately.

4. Some people are described as having "a face only a mother could love." What people or things in your life do you love unconditionally?

Well, Beast and Sparky. Buddy. My friends. My grandmother's Bible.

5. In what ways are you like your mother? What habits, catch phrases, and tricks have you picked up from her?

Oh, let's just not go here. I have picked up several of her sayings, but for the most part I say them semi-ironically.
