Mother’s Day 2017: AJC producer asks mom about first crush

Questions for MOM: AJC producer grills mom about first crush
By Helena Oliviero

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution recently connected with a handful of local moms and their children for a special Mother's Day video package, and we decided to let the kids (of all ages) do the interviews.

Inquisitive children asked a range of questions from the deeply personal (What did you think when I came to as a child?) and unexpected (Who was your childhood crush?) to the light and funny (Why do we go to the zoo to see the animals? How does Santa come into the house?)

AJC producer Fiza Pirani, 25, and who lives in Atlanta, interviewed her mom, Dr. Safia Pirani, who lives in Marietta.

Some of the younger children got a little help from mom and dad. But what came through every one of these interviews was love — and a special bond between mother and child.
