20 Questions to Ask Your Kid Instead of “How Was Your Day?

“How was your day?” “Fine.” Good talk. Let’s do it again tomorrow. If you’re like me, you come home and ask your son or daughter the standard question: “How was your day?” If your child is like mine, you get the polite but monosyllabic response: “Fine.” But, we can’t be satisfied with this.
