Data Match

Today when we were at my parent's house, I saw this old piece of paper on the table.  It was titled Data Match Answer Sheet.  It was done by my brother Nathan when he was 13-years-old.  It appears to be something he filled out at church at an activity or something.  I read through his answers and then thought it would be fun to go through the questions with Jonathan.  I would first ask him a question and then guess what I though he would answer and he would tell me if I was right or what he would have said.  Then we did the same thing with him asking me.  It was fun and enlightening. : )  I highly recommend it for a spouse activity for a good time.
