An Interview with Middle Child

Every year at the beginning of the school year I interview my children.
Except this year it was done closer to Christmas because I forgot about the "every year at the beginning of the school year" part.
I copy questions I have read or just dream them up while conversing with my children just as any professional journalist does.
Have I ever told you about my dreams of becoming the next Diane Sawyer?
But anyways, here is my interview with my middle child who has chapped lips in these pictures which I mistakenly thought was chocolate and attempted to wipe off with my saliva before child yelled at me for being so gross.
Funny how a kid who picks his nose and rubs his boogers on the furniture thinks that my saliva is gross.
Hmph.

Well, despite the surly attitude and admissions of theft, this was a delight to read -- though I'm sure it was more fun to read than to conduct!

I need to do this!

LOL!! Awesome idea and I love the interview! He's a handsome kid and had some great answers. A flying car?? I totally want one! ;)

That was AWESOME!! Where was blogging when mine was small? You guys have the best ideas - there's no way that 16 year old is going to submit to an interview now; darn it!

Can't wait to see next year's interview.

Too funny! It might be interesting to see what questions he would come up with for you or another family member if the table was turned. Maybe he would enjoy it more. Lol!

That is hilarious!! Especially the one about having more hair than dad and all the "are we done yets." I totally want to do this with my kids!
