Once upon a time, one mummy blogger decided to sit down and interview her five year old child.
Then another mummy blogger came along and noticed what had occurred. She then decided to interview both her children.
Shortly after this another mummy blogger came along, noticed what was going on and interviewed her three year old daughter.
Then another mummy blogger came along and lacking any creative inspiration of her own, decided to do the same.
So here is my interview with IJ, aged six:
How old do you have to be to drive a car?
One year old. (Said without hesitation)
What does Mummy do all day when you are at school?
Plays in the park.
What is Mummy's job?
Raising money to buy me toys.
What do you think the Queen looks like?
Hairy. (Oh dear!)
Who do you think runs the country?
Me.
Who is Barack Obama?
A farmer.
Where do babies come from?
Bottoms. (Again, no hesitation)
Er... How are babies made?
They come from eggs.
If you could be anyone else, who would you be?
A baby.
What do you want to be when you grow up?
A monkey, a doctor, a teacher, a nurse and a dog.
How old is Mummy?
36.
How old is Granny?
36.
If you had children what would their names be?
Nemo for a boy, Dora for a girl.
Who is your best friend in the whole world?
Mummy.
Apologies Your Majesty and Mr President!
It's got to be that last answer that will clench it! She sounds totally adorable.

Best laugh I've had in ages. Could you interview her every week? Please

Love it...I do believe that Barack Obama's reputation has taken a beating! ;)
So nice to know that you're her best friend...hopefully that will continue for years to come!

Oh I think I may need to do this with the minimads, watch this space. I love it

How very cute and innocent she sounds. Just adorable. I asked my pair of poppets and they even got anatomical description of conception and birth right... OHMYGOD! I am horrified.
I must say I prefer your answers!

I am really enjoying these interviews, small children know much more than we first thought! I love her children's names as well. If only I'd thought about it in more depth before my two were born!

I love interviews with children - you get a brief insight into how their minds work.

Haha I like the raising money for toys answer, most accurate I would've thought!
Posted by: Erica | January 31, 2010 at 10:55 AM
oh, I'm so going to do this!

Oh you're her best friend! How lovely is that!
Can you just let me know what moisturiser Granny uses - she's obviously looking good!

Brilliant! I may nab your idea when my son comes home. Will make a refreshing change from the stuff I usually write. Will he be as forthcoming and funny as your daughter? Who knows but children's perceptions are often more illuminating than our own!
Oh and top marks IJ for the president being a farmer...isn't he supposed to be sowing the seeds of change....?!

Hilarious!! I might go and steal this idea as well :) My kid better say I'm his best friend, or else.

Loving these interviews - it almost makes me wish I had a toddler to interview. I SAID "ALMOST"!! I shall interview my granddaughter in a couple of years.

Hee hee, the 'hairy' one is my favourite. And didn't you just know she'd get bottoms in there somewhere?
