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.

A Revealing Interview with my Kids

These handsome boys are my kids.
I know. I look too young to have children this old.
Would you believe me if I told you I was 13 when I had my first child?
Didnt think so.
I am the mother of a child in Grade 2 and a child in Senior Kindergarten.
How did this happen?
Instead of drinking myself into a coma over the fact that my children are growing up, I decided to be a bit more productive.
So I interviewed them.

This is Messy. He is in Grade 2. He likes to pose for pictures. Can you tell?

Who is your best friend? My sister

What is your favourite thing to do? Drive the lawnmower tractor

Who do you love the most in the whole entire world? (I secretly knew he was going to say "Mommy") "My sister". *gasp* What about your mother? "Umm.....nope".

One day they will tell me how great I am.

And I will finally feel like they appreciate everything I have done for them.

In the meantime, I will continue to allow my world to revolve around them.
Because I love them more than anything else in the world.
