Can Mother and Daughter Make the Grade?
by Shannon Caster

Your mother knows your middle name and never forgets your birthday, but can you two make the grade on other fun trivia about each other? First, have your mom guess your favorite color. If she’s right, she gets a point. Then guess your mom’s favorite color. If you’re right—one point. Continue with the other questions.

1. Favorite color

2. Favorite type of book to read

3. Subject you dislike the most

4. Favorite food

5. Your dream vacation place is . . .

6. Favorite season

7. How much change is in your purse right now?

8. Your best friend’s eye color is . . .

9. Favorite sport to play

10. Favorite state (besides your own) ...

11. Favorite music group or singer

12. How many pairs of jeans do you own?

13. Favorite flower

14. If you were an animal, it would be . . .

15. Last movie you saw—at home or out

16. What shoes are you wearing? (No peeking!)

17. Cartwheels—right/left handed, or no way?

18. How do you feel about plaid shirts?

19. At this moment, bed made or unmade?

20. What did you wear yesterday?


Mom Total: __________ Daughter Total: __________

Add both your total scores: ___________

To take the test with your daughter go here to copy questions and check on scoring.

Our score meant we were supposed to share our most embarrassing moment. Sophia said:

"My whole life is an embarrassing moment!"

Oh, yes, in case I ever forget why I'm glad I'm not still a teenager :)

Brio is great by the way - a Focus on the Family magazine for teen girls that's been around our house off and on for 20 years - since there was a gap between our two sets of teen girls.

Love,
