Do you want to tell me anything else? Yeah. I don't like coloring true. too too true.
Here's what I learned.
1. He loved this. I need to talk to him more often because he is happy to answer any question I ask right now. He wanted to do more questions but stopped giving coherent answers.
2. Who the crap is Jacob? Imaginary friend? Ward member? Stalker? How concerned should I be about this? And why have I never heard of him before?
3. He wants to live in a tree. Maybe this summer we'll build something for him to play under the apple tree in the corner of the back yard! Dreams can come true.....
This is a super cute idea. Do you mind if I copy? :)
ReplyDeleteOf course! I wanna hear about results though...
DeleteDeal!
DeleteCute interview! I remember "living" in our apple trees in the summer when we were growing up. Each of us had a different tree for our "house." One branch was the living room, another branch was the bedroom (not very comfortable beds, but ...), another was the kitchen, etc. The "cupboards" were stocked monotonously, but apples could become many things with a little imagination. Later summer/fall were the best times to live there, however. Early summer and the food was a little tough. I'll give him a couple more years and come teach him the joys of "living" in an apple tree.
ReplyDeleteOooh! a seasoned pro! I'm glad to hear survival is possible. :)
DeleteHe doesn't like coloring???? How sad!!
