One of my family's favorite activities is to complete questionnaires that my wife made for us. Each of us have the same questions, (there's hundreds of them--literally) and we answer them from our own perspective, experiences, and/or memories. We often take time during camping, after dinner, or on a long weekend, and sit down together to complete a page of questions. Once completed with the page, we each read our answers aloud...and that's when the laughs begin.
This past week, we took the opportunity after dinner one night to complete a page of questions. One of the questions was: "Is there a specific time when you feel lonely?" My oldest son answered: "When I'm alone" (which drew sympathy laughs), but then my youngest son answered: "In the middle of the week!" I supposed that was his honest answer (he loves going to Sunday school and youth group on the weekends), but I must admit that his answer totally made our family bust a gut laughing.
If you've never done something like this with your family, I encourage you to write a few pages of questions and start the habit. It will bring you many memories and tons of laughs.
