Interview time with Jocelyn
/
Because I want to be like Jenelle when I grow up (or, um, something like that) and because she posted this and because I loved it the last time I did it, it's interview time again...
What's your name? "Jocelyn, remember?"
How old are you? "Four. [pause] Mom, you know this stuff. What are you doing?"
What are you wearing right now? "A dress that is a nightgown sometimes too." (That's true. Sometimes she wears it as a dress, but sometimes she sleeps in it.)
What is your favorite…
How much do you think the following costs…
Where would you go if you could go anywhere on vacation? "To the beach house or to the big city where we went to with Grandma and Grandpa and Aunt Laurie and Uncle Jay."
What do you want to be when you grow up? "Remember, Mommy? Make movies! I want to be an actress."
If you could change your name, what would you change it to? "Lizzie Rose."
If you could have one superpower what would it be? "I don't know. The bubble one or a running fast one or the make storms one. Maybe...the bubble one to make big bubbles that get little when you touch them and it doesn't pop once you touch it."
If you could wish for anything and have it come true, what would your one wish be? "I wish I could get back in your belly and get small and then I fall out and then it will be my five birthday and we'll have a party." (Yes, her wishes are to return to the womb and to turn five. I don't know what to say about that.)
And, as a reprise of last year's questions (see her previous answers here!)...
My dad is 30 years old. (Yep! It's his birthday today.)
He weighs 260 pounds. (She ran to the scale to consult it. And he's put on a bit of weight if she's right!)
His hair is black like Mommy's, and his eyes are maybe the same as mine.
He likes to relax by laying down and stopping doing stuff and maybe falling to sleep.
When my dad shops, he loves to buy all the things we don't have.
His favorite TV show is Mommy and Daddy ones. (In other words, not cartoons.)
I make him happy when I love him.
I really love it when he makes me happy.
What's your name? "Jocelyn, remember?"

What are you wearing right now? "A dress that is a nightgown sometimes too." (That's true. Sometimes she wears it as a dress, but sometimes she sleeps in it.)
What is your favorite…
- Food? "Hot dogs. And ramen with a little water in it and sauce in the ramen."
- Cereal? "Hmm, let me think ... pink squares! 'Cause that's a kind of cereal. Really, Mommy, it is. We just ate it a long time ago and that's why you don't remember." (I have no idea what she's talking about.)
- TV Show? "I have a lot of favorites. My favorite is Arthur, Calliou, and Curious George, and the last one ... uh ... CyberChase."
- Movie? "All my princess movies and The Incredibles."
- Book? "All of my books in my room." (Yes, she is her mother's daughter. I can never answer that either.)
- Song? "All the songs I know and can sing. Like Twinkle Twinkle, Rock-A-Bye Baby, and Lord, Compare Me." (Hmm, maybe we need to articulate the words to Sanctuary a little better: "Lord, prepare me/to be a sanctuary...")
- Thing to do at home? "Have friends over and play in the backyard with them and play with the bubble machine."
- Color? "Pink and purple and orange and yellow."
- Toy? "All of my toys."
- Disney princess? "I don't know because all of them are my favorites so I don't know."
- Fast food restaurant? "The one with jelly. 'Cause, remember? Where we go-ed with Aunt Laurie? That's the kind of restaurant I like." (I have no idea what she's talking about! I guess I have to ask Aunt Laurie.)
- Sit-down restaurant? "That's the one I was talking about, the one we go-ed to with Aunt Laurie and Uncle Jay." (Oh, Sweet Tomatoes is what she's talking about. She doesn't know what "fast food" means, though she has certainly eaten it before!
- Game? "Dora princess game!" (It's a Wii game. Don't get it. She might like it, but I hate it.)
How much do you think the following costs…
- New Car? "26" (Nope, no units.)
- House? "36" (Maybe we should work on units of measurement.)
- Milk? "Three dollars." (Okay, I feel better about the units thing now.)
Where would you go if you could go anywhere on vacation? "To the beach house or to the big city where we went to with Grandma and Grandpa and Aunt Laurie and Uncle Jay."

My mom is past Daddy years old. (Nope, still rocking my 20s for ten more months!)
She weighs 500 pounds. (Wow, I've put on some weight!)
Her hair is the same as Daddy's but not curly, and her eyes are the same as mine.
She likes to relax by falling asleep.
When my mom shops, she loves to buy peanut butter and jelly.
Her favorite TV show is Mommy and Daddy ones. (In other words, not cartoons.)
I make her happy by loving you. And I make you sad by being angry.
I really love it when she makes me happy.
I love her. :)
