This week we ask…

What would your kids be surprised to find out about you?

Olga of The European Mama: That I can sail a yacht and took ju-jitsu classes.

Aisha of Expat Log: Haha! Where to start! That I used to be known by a different name… that I smoked marijuana in a convent… that should leave ’em speechless!

Natalie of Afterschool for Smarty Pants: That I’ve been married to someone who is not her father. And, believe it or not, she doesn’t know that I have a blog 🙂

Cecilia of Spanglish House: that I studied in a military school, I am in the Bolivian Military Reserve actually. and that I did not use to be as conservative as I am now.

Galina of Raising a Trilingual Child: That I can also cry  (my kids are 2.5 and 4.5 yo)

Thereza of A Path of Light: for some time I was goth, almost got suspended in HS for drawing the anarchy symbol on top the school’s logo in my uniform, tricked all passengers in a coach bus pretending to be the ticket collector, and other stories! But what’seven better is that I already told my kids and we evaluated those choices together.

Varya of Creative World of Varya: That I used to perform contemporary Indian dance.

Frances of Discovering the World Through My Son’s Eyes: I wanted to be nun. I was so determined that I went to the convent for a two-month retreat. On the 2nd day I knew that it wasn’t my calling. I called my mom, and she picked me up the following day. 😉

And mine? For me it would be that I once dyed my hair green and used to have a nose ring. Perhaps some of you would be surprised to know this too!
