Q&A with the Megow kids

School is starting up this week. This time of year, I always see those little questionnaire's pop up on Facebook. You know the ones about "Favorite Book? Favorite Food?" So I thought it would be fun to do one with my kids.

I recorded and typed their responses verbatim. Enjoy!

What do you want to learn about this year in school?
Stevie: “Math and how to draw shadows.”
Neela: “Science, ‘aminals’, and fun celebrations. Birthday parties are my favorite school days. The other days are boring unless I learn about nature.”
Titus: “How to wear black clothes and sneak.”
Olive: “What’s in my belly button?” (lifts up shirt)

What do you want to be when you grow up?
Stevie: “A person who draws pictures of things and sends them to people to make toys out of my drawings. I think that will be fun.”

Olive: “Horse. They have the prettiest hair.”

What makes you the most happy?
Stevie: “Family time, alone time with daddy, and pranking people.”
Neela:  “Chasing my butt. I need a tail.”

Olive: “Getting new sisters. I need more sisters.”

Favorite Food? Least Favorite Food?

Dad- “No Olive, what food don’t you like to eat?”
Olive- “I like chicken nuggets”

Olive: “Eating Flowers.”

If you invented something, what would it be?

Neela:  “Vep.  I just invented that. Vep! (laughs hysterically) That’s a hilarious name for a dinosaur. I’m hilarious dad!! Wait, why aren’t you laughing? I said Vep. Did you hear it?”
Titus: “Gadgets. They are a secret in my brain. I can’t tell you or you will invent them first.”
Olive: “Babies. I want to invent a baby. And this..” (holds up an apple)

What is the funniest thing in the whole wide world?

Neela:  “She’s right. When I fart. It’s loud.”
Titus: “Pee, poop, toilet, tiny toilets, blue toilets, hair on the floor.”

Whats the worst part about being a grown up?
Stevie: “You work on computers instead of play games. Plus you have to plan all of the surprises. I like getting surprised instead of planning them.”
Neela:  “Not eating treats. Just kidding, not eating my foot. For real, did you know grownups aren’t allowed to eat their feet.” (tries to stick foot in mouth) “My feet stink…. Delicious.”
Titus: “Grown-ups don’t eat snacks. I like candy the most.”
Olive: “Eat. Sleep. Die.”

Be Blessed and Be a Blessing,
Seth
