Interview with a Toddler



I’ve been seeing a lot of facebook posts featuring interviews with toddlers and they always lead to some pretty comical answers. I decided to try it with Forest and figured I’d post the transcript here. The rule is that there is no coaching or prompting allowed. He actually did fairly well so it wasn’t as funny as some of the ones I’ve seen. 
************************************** 
What's your name: Forest Alexander Perry 
How old are you? I’m two years old. 
How old is mommy? Uh. Two years old. 
When is your birthday? (blank stare) 
What is your favorite color? Blue. 
What’s your favorite food? Waffles. 
Who is your best friend? (points to himself) then says ‘Curious George!’ 
What is your favorite TV show? Frozen. No, not Frozen. Just the movie Cars. And Super Why and Daniel Tiger. That’s a show I think. (Can you tell he really comes out of his shell when the topic of Tv comes up?) 
What’s your favorite song? Good Good Father 
What’s your favorite animal? A frog. 
What are you scared of? Nope. Nothing. (This is a lie. He is still scared of vacuum cleaners. But other than that, yes, he is pretty fearless. )
What makes you happy? (BIG SMILE) Lightning McQueen! 
Where’s your favorite  place to go? To the park. We’re not going to the park. No, of course not! 
Where do we live: California and Texas. Mmmhmmm that’s where we live. There’s berries in our neighborhood, at the park. 
What do you want to be when you grow up? I’m gonna go to the ice cream shop. When dad gets home we’re gonna go to the ice cream shop. 
How old is daddy? 2 years old. Daddy is 2 years old. 
What’s mommy’s favorite thing to do? Clean the house. Mommy cleans the house. 
What is love? (blank stare as he stabs Lightning McQueen with a fork).

Ps. It's crazy to me that I used to write blog posts in his voice when he was a baby and now he is such a little boy that he can actually have back and forth, question and answer conversations with me. Child development is truly amazing.
