If I think about my love life anymore, I will begin to cross the street without looking both ways. So instead I blatently stole a great idea from my Cousin Sister Amy and interviewed my one and only.
Me: Hello Sir. I’d like to ask you a few questions if that’s OK.
Ben: OK fine.
Me: Can you please state your full name?
Ben: Benjamin Richard
Me: And how old are you?
Ben: Eight years old.
Me: How old do you wish you were?
Ben: Ten.
Me: Why do you wish you were ten?
Ben: Cuz! Ten’s my favorite age.
Me: Huh. OK well what is your favorite thing about 3rd grade and school in general?
Ben: Recess.
Me: What do you want to be when you grow up?
Ben: Um. Hmmm. Um. A stay at home guy.
Me: What? What is a “stay at home guy?”
Ben: A guy who stays at home.
Me: OK but what would you do for money?
Ben: I would work for people.
Me: (scratching my head) Let’s move on. Do you think your mother is pretty?
Ben: Yes.
Me: If I gave you 10,000 dollars right now, what would you do with it?
Ben: I would buy a car and one million Puffles.
Me: But you can’t drive.
Ben: I’d save the car until I could.
Me: Right. Anything else besides a car and one million Puffles?
Ben: Nope.
Me: Where are you going to college?
Ben: Either Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin or Ohio State.
Me: Who is your best friend?
Ben: I have two. Aaron and Dhruv.
Me: What is your favorite thing to do on the weekend?
Ben: Play video games and watch cartoons.
Me: How are you liking this interview so far?
Ben: On a scale of 1-10, I give it a 2.
Me: Would you rather have a puppy or a baby brother?
Ben: a puppy
Me: Do you ever want a baby brother or sister?
Ben: Yes, I do. I can play video games with them and football. I think it would be fun. I do.
Me: I better get going then huh? OK moving on. Do you know what a “Cool Mom” is?
Ben: Yeah.
Me: Am I a “cool mom”?
Ben: Yeah. Sure.
Me: For my final question, can we go back to what you want to be when you grow up?
Ben: OK. Either a cop or an author.
Me: (audible sigh) Much better than a “stay at home guy.” We call those guys couch potato, unemployed losers. So, those are all the questions I have for today. Since I often have nothing of meaning to write on this here blog, can I interview you again sometime?
Ben: Yeah. Sure.
