Interview with Julia

Two Year Old

A friend posted on her wall an interview she had with her two year old, so I decided to ask Julia the same questions and hear her responses.  First, I went to her room while she was listening to her story Madeline on CD and so she was sucking her thumb and wide awake.  I sat criss-crossed on her bed pretzel style and said, “Julia I have some questions for you.”  I had a clip board and some paper and a pen, and she must’ve thought this was a part of school because she got so excited to do “homework” she sat up, criss-crossed her legs like me and was bright eyed and beaming.  Seriously, she smiled the entire time.  It was like she was being interviewed by Barbara Walters.  She was so excited.  I tried not to coach any of her answers, so if they don’t make sense, remember she’s only 2!!! Oh, and each question before she answered she said, “UMMMMMMM…and then gave her answer, so I didn’t put the ummmm, but she did say it!
