An interview

Over the past few years, from time to time, I've read blogs where parents "interview" their children.  The answers are quite often thought provoking, unexpected and almost always comical.  It's something I've always thought, one day I'll do that.  And then, being that my brain is full of about 14 million things, promptly forgot.

That was the case until last week.  My Mom, who was up at some unearthly hour because a sore back was preventing her from sleeping, sent me an e-mail and reminded me of the intended interview.  I read it (at a better hour because, while the girls may have had me up, I so was not reading e-mails at 3am), and thought, perfect!  What a great way to help aleviate the pending, fall writers block!  So, I complied some questions, followed Bethany around (because let's face it, she doesn't sit still) and here's what we got.

I know it's an old photo, but I can't believe how quickly she's grown.

Me: "That's a trick question I'm not answering that! But I love and like you both"
B: "Oh"
Me: "Thanks for the interview Bethany"
