Deep Thoughts by Luke and Emma

My friend sent me the funniest email where she interviewed her son with random/weird questions and put down his HONEST answers...So I tried it out on my kids, they loved the attention of being interviewed and I had fun hearing their cute little answers. (Even if some of them hurt my feelings :) he he he, just kidding! :)

Here's what Luke said...

1. Tell me the five best things about you.

That I never play video games on Sunday, I play basketball, I have a computer, I never play with friends on Sunday, I'm going to be in second grade.

2. Why do kids put rings in their eyebrows and nose?

They just want to look cool.

3. If you could tell me to never serve two vegetables again, which would you choose?

Salad and broccoli.

4. Who do you think I'd rather you be: an NBA player, the mayor, a famous explorer, or a movie star?

Movie star, because sometimes you sing in the shower and you play Sing Star and Rock Band.

5. Which of your friends do you think I like the most? Why?

Carver, because you're friends with his mom and because he's a nice kid.

6. On a scale of one to nine - one being not at all and nine being totally - how strict do you think I am? How strict would you like me to be?

Five, just kind of strict, not that much.

7. What would be the ideal allowance? Tell me how you would use it.

$2000. I would spend some on video games, some on a DS game, I would buy a limo, and I would buy a dog. Then he asks "Are you really going to give me $2000?"

8. If you had to pick one of these which would you pick? Really long nose hairs, hair in your ears, hair above your lip, massively hairy armpits?

Hair above my lip.

9. If you could arrange it what time would I get home from work? Then what would we do together?

You don't work. But if you got a babysitter for Emma and Gavin then we would go and get ice cream.

10. Can you think of any clothes I have that i should never put on again?

That dress that daddy bought you that you think is too short but that daddy likes. And I think you should have your hair cut short.

11. Which of the choices do you think would be best?

a. Dinner with everyone at the table and the TV on with your favorite show.
b. Dinner in which everybody took what they wanted from the fridge and no one had the same thing.
c. Dinner with the whole family together and no TV on.

A, because that is funner then sitting there eating.

12. If you are feeling sad what meal could I make to help cheer you up?

Ice cream.

Micheal Jackson, Brittney Spears, Coldplay

That we're going to go out and play basketball but really we come to my house.

15. If you have to choose a disability which one would it be, and why?

A. Blind
B. Deaf
C. Inability to walk

C. I'd just break a leg because then I could be in a wheel chair and then I don't have to always run, I'll just get in my wheelchair and it would be easy.

If they are famous and if they have a limo.

18. If you could decorate our house what would it look like?

A blast, it would have candy all over it, video games for free and it would have 500 DSI's that are free, and the candy would be stuck all over the walls. And the house would be made out of candy. And then we'd have another video game house made of video games that are free.
