A Brief Interview With The Almost Seven Year Old

Mama: If you could fly, where would you go?

E: I’d fly to Disneyland and go on the Jack Sparrow ride.

Mama: If you were invisible, what would you do?

E: I’d sneak around on Halloween and scare people by shouting, “Boo!” and they’d look around and no body would be there. Or! I’d stand still and people would bump into me but me super confused cause they wouldn’t see anything there. They would be so creped out! That would be awesome. Also, I could hide out where robbers live, and I'd arrest them without them seeing me.

Mama: If you could read minds whose mind would you want to read?

E: Yours.

Mama: Mine? Why?

E: Because then I would always know what you were thinking, and surprises wouldn’t exist, because I’d always be able to know about them if you were thinking about them. And if you had a special treat planned, I’d know about it, and so I’d behave really well.

Mama: I bet you can guess what I’m thinking now.

E: That you love me?

Mama: Yep, that’s what I was thinking.
