one of my favorite things that gray and i do together is play a game called "interview". we have this little journal and we take turns interviewing each other. the questions are simple, like "what is your favorite snack? what is your favorite color?" and then we switch off. i'm tricky, because she doesn't even realizing that it's helping her reading and her writing while we're just having fun.
i love asking her the same questions week after week, to see how her answers change and evolve. one week her color is pink, and the next it's "every color in the rainbow". some of her answers just kill me, like
what's your favorite cereal?
-regular cheerios with sugar
what's your favorite flower?
-lily pad and a crocus
favorite snack?
-pistachios
favorite thing to do when you're bored?
-watch tv but my mom doesn't let me
favorite snack?
-corn
favorite sound?
-joey crying
favorite dream?
-"the dream i dreamed about ponies and princesses. i wish i had braces. would i look good in braces?"
favorite smell?
-joey's dumps
and the best one yet:
favorite food?
-"hamburgers! they kill the cows and make them into patios."
morbid, bizarre, true, and terrible, but one of the cutest things she's ever said.
