Interview with the chil'ren. Part three

I put Nicholas last. I am not sure why. Actually, I think that's the order they trickled down the steps...

From the mouth of a 9-year-old:

Well, it's your turn for the interview. Do you wonder why you are the last [kid] one?

"No."

So it didn't bother you?

"No."

Is that's why you kept asking me when it would be your turn?

"Yes."

Ok. It's all clear now. I guess it's your turn to explain. Why does Darrin have a black eye?

"'Cause I threw the book."

What was your reasoning to throwing the book?

"To scare him because he kept on hitting me."

Hmm. He failed to mention that detail in his interview.I guess it's safe to say you guys don't get along very well?

"Yes."

Well, we'll leave that alone for now.

What is your favorite thing to do?

"Play with Chris and Blake, play Playstation, and watch TV."

What's your favorite Playstation game?

::thinks: "Lego Star Wars 2: Original Trilogy."

I have noticed you like all manner of Star Wars. Is this a passing phase or do you plan on going to conventions and living in the basement?

"Uh. A phase."

Ok. I can live with that. What do you want to be when you grow up?

"I don't know."

Do you children not really know things or afraid to think?

"Really don't know things."

Then I probably am not doing a great job. What would you ask me?

"What you mean?"

If you were interviewing me, what is a question you would ask?

"What would you do when you retired?"

I don't know. Ha ha. Just kidding. No, I think I would like to travel with Daddy.

"Ok."

What would be perfect day?

"I'd take my friends around the world."

That'll be interesting. You're not allowed to cross the street. How would you accomplish this?

"I'd give you a hundred dollars."

I am thinking this interview is over; would you agree?

"Maybe."

What else would you like to add?

"I like my kitty."

And I am sure he loves you. Even when he pretends you're a gazelle.
