If you had all the money in the world, what would you do with it? If you had one wish, what would you wish for? R is 9 and C is 5, R basically didn’t want to answer anything but got a few from her sister, and there was a hint of Minecraft to a few of the answers…Ĭ: We are alive because we didn’t see any mobs or monsters I tried all your suggested questions and a couple of my own with my kids, won’t put them all here though. (PS: For every link you have to click in this comment to find out what I meant, you loose an 80s Kid Point. Or my husband his C-64, Amiga, or Atari…we probably would have been treated as time travelers. Thank God I didn’t have to try explaining records & turntables or my 8-track.
Buying new was out of the question.įor relativity, I was only born in ’82! Explaining what a tape deck is to 9 out of 10 store employees made me want to go look in the mirror to see exactly how old I am again. It took us many wanderings through 2nd-hand houses here to find a worthy replacement, because the Hi-Fi & home electronics store employees needed an explanation as to what this ‘cassette recorder’ thing should be. We made an international move at one point in our past, and my old cassette recorder was one of the things that stayed in the old land. I enjoy that they last about as long as it takes me to prep lunch undisturbed. The older one understands the buttons (triangle for go, box for stop, red circle is no-no, etc.) and enjoys the independence. They are just darling little radio dramas, and now my 5 & 2 year olds can listen to them too. I would offer links, but found only German ones.) True, true! Mother-in-Law had saved up the cassettes of the Swiss Kasperlitheater stories (The ones where Jörg Schneider, Ines Torelli, and Paul Bühlmann do the voices. To enter, comment below! (It doesn’t have to be a question/answer comment, although those would be more fun. Giveaway: One winner will be chosen at random to select any in-stock item from the Crappy Shop! Or a copy of my book! Winner can pick.
Like my first interview attempt with Crappy Baby when he was two: It usually goes pretty well (kids LOVE to talk about themselves) but even when they aren’t interested or it doesn’t go smoothly, it is still worth doing. See the contrast and how freakily fast they grow? Goodbye whimsical answers and hello seriousness. I interviewed him again a year later when he was three: (I noticed that later that same day I jotted down the swearing story about the peas being too hot that wound up in my book. The first time I “interviewed” Crappy Boy he was two years, eight months old. (And of course if some are the same years later…won’t that be super interesting too? Like if their three-year-old self actually does predict their profession?) Their answers will likely never be the same again. Each one is a direct portal into who they were at that moment in time on that particular day.
Of all the things I’ve written about them, these interviews are my favorite things to go back and read. I’ve interviewed my kids about themselves at least once per year. This is slightly different and sorta the same… Remember Interview Your Kids, Part One? The one where we asked our kids questions about us? (The comments were hilarious, by the way.)
