The Atlanta Journal-Constitution recently connected with a handful of local moms and their children for a special Mother's Day video package.

The moms included AJC managing editor Monica Richardson and her daughter Lyric, who is 4.

We decided to let the kids 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?)

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.
