An Interview About Dad..

This is from the plane ride to Ohio. This is me chatting with the Oldest and having a little idea that me interviewing him in the persona of someone other than his Mom (me) would be fun. This is me asking him questions about his Dad. Lots of fun. Verbatim, see what our conversation held:

Me: Describer your father, Oldest.
Oldest: --very mysterious
--sometimes grumpy (REEEally?)
--very careful (hmmmm)
--loving
--funny
--doesn't like to read books a lot
Me: What do you love most about your Dad?
Oldest: That I can relate to him in so many ways (again with the hmmmmm)
Me: Where was your Dad born?
Oldest: Philippines (this is wrong, he was born in the States at a local Naval hospital)
Me: How old is your Dad?
Oldest: 42 (he's right!)
Me: How many brothers and sisters does your Dad have?
Oldest: Nine (phew!!!----but he DOES have six of them, one in Heaven)
Me: What is the one thing you wish you could change about your Dad if you could?
Oldest: Nothing. He's just great the way he is (wow, even with the grumpy comment, impressive).
Me: What's one thing you want us to know about your Dad?
Oldest: He's the best, greatest, most kind Dad and man ever.

Now there's an interview that I did with him about me but I pretended I was someone else and he had to pretend it was not me talking to him asking him questions about me (GG!). I will pull it out and slap it up here. This is from the heart, soul, and mind of an eight year old. Fun times and memories on a plane. Great little distraction for me too :).

When we get on another plane in about three weeks, I may do it again and later compare and see if his answers are the same or different. My special boy. Fun.
