Interview with Ten
Back in January, Tara over at Sticky Fingers posted an interview with her children which made me giggle. Following a sudden rush of blogs that seemed to be publishing all manner of imaginative memes and favourite photos’s/records/recipes, I decided to take inspiration from (read ‘plagiarise’) the one most likely to yield a good result with the least amount of effort. You can see the outcome below.
Who is Queen of the Netherlands?
– Beatrix.
Who is the Queen of England?
(Pause for thought):
– Wait! There is no queen of England! There’s a president – Gordon Brown. I thought he was dead though, until I was about 8. Like George Bush – one of those famous people that died.
Who is Barack Obama?
– President of the United States.
When Dad and I go out and Fourteen babysits, where do we go?
– Out for dinner or to see a film No, hang on, not to the cinema, Dad goes to the cinema on his own most of the time.
What does Fourteen do to annoy you?
– She doesn’t do what I ask. She kicks me sometimes. And pinches me.
What do you do to annoy Fourteen?
– I don’t do what she asks. I don’t kick her, though – only pinch.
Where do babies come from?
– Errr – women’s thing – private part – ok, the front bit – the lower front bit.
If you have children, what will their names be?
– Don’t know because I’m not that old yet.
How much pocket money do you think you should get? (Currently €2 per week.)
– €3 per week.
Who do you think is cleverest, Mum or Dad?
– Both – they’re as good as each other. Dad’s better at computers. Mum’s better at spelling (and Dutch.)
What do you want to be when you grow up?
– Don’t know. I might be a policeman and chase baddies, or a fireman.
If you could be anyone else, who would you be?
– Myself.
Thank you, Ten, for this post.
Hey de ho! I love love love these children interview because they give such honest and quite frankly brilliant answers!
Baby’s come from a woman’s ‘thing’ – genius, that is forever how mine shall be known now!
Thanks so much for joining in, and look at that, it means I found your blog too!
Thanks for dropping by, Tara. I think you should read this: https://areyoureceivingme.com/2009/09/10/parenting-skills-or-unskills/ and then, when you’ve read that, read this: https://areyoureceivingme.com/2010/01/07/a-hard-choice-to-make/ . Shameless self promotion again although really, it’s all Ten’s work…
