Father's Day Questionnaire 2016

It's that time again:  Father's Day!  This is the fifth straight year I have magically remembered to pose these Father's Day Questionnaires to our children.  If time travel is your thing, here are those from 2015, 2014, 2013, and 2012.  As ever, Adelaide's answers are in pink, Atticus's in green, and Caedmon's in blue.

All About My Dad

By Adelaide Crisler, Age 10



My Dad’s name is Derek Crisler.


He is 6 feet 4 1/2 inches tall.


He weighs I don’t know, 237 pounds?


His hair color is dark brown-ish.


His favorite tv show is NFL Vikings games.


He likes to go on dates with you [Mom].


His favorite food is everything you [Mom] make.  And most of the stuff I make.


His favorite drink is iced tea, I guess.


For fun my Dad likes to golf, watch Vikings football games, and read Garfield comic books.


I love it when Dad tries to let me talk instead of problem-solving everything.


My favorite thing about my Dad is he usually tells you what he thinks without sugar-coating it.


My favorite thing to do with my Dad is I don’t know- I like doing things on my own with Dad.
One funny thing about my Dad is he shows a lot of emotion during Vikings games, and doesn’t show much emotion the rest of the time.


If I could give my Dad anything in the world, it would be front-row seat tickets to a Vikings game, and all expenses paid for the trip.

Father's Day Questionnaire 2015

Today I did my yearly interrogation of our offspring in the name of a cutesy Father's Day questionnaire.  Really, the children don't mind, probably because any time you're talking about Dad is happy time.  And here are the questionnaires from 2014, 2013, and 2012 for your viewing pleasure.  I print them out each year, stick them in those clear page protectors, and put them in a binder that I keep on a shelf with my cookbooks, because leaving these memories in the hands of the internet is just asking for the A.I. coup I know is inevitable.  No need to provoke the robots.
