Me: Girls, thank you for sitting down for this interview.
Soni: (Silence.)
Whit: (Silence.)
Me: GIRLS! You WILL participate in this interview!
(After my pep talk...)
Me: OK. First question-what did you want to be when you were a little girl?
Soni: I wanted to be a school teacher. I made my neighbors come to my house, and they were all my students.
Whit: I wanted to be a singer/actress. Until I was 12, then the "Mother" thing kicked in.
Me: What do you want for Christmas?
Soni: An IPod.
Whit: A blue tooth and a popcorn popper.
(Rock and Treion, are you listening?)
Me: What's your favorite dessert?
Soni: Mmm, Almond Poppyseed Cake...or homemade brownies with HOMEMADE frosting...or this this orange cake trifle thing I make...(20 minutes later)...I can't pick just one. (Love her!)
Whit: Cinnamon rolls or mint chocolate chip ice cream.
Me: Where's a place you'd like to visit?
Whit: ISRAEL!
Soni: That's TOTALLY what I was going to say! Or maybe Italy.
Me: What's the worst advice you've been given?
Whit: Never go to bed angry. Whatever! I'm tired!
Soni: (Silence.)
Me: Soni! Wake up!
Soni: Oh, um, I need a couple days on that one...
Me: What's your secret talent?
Soni: I can drive with my knees.
Whit: I flair my nostrils.
Me: OK, last question. If you had one day all to yourself, what would you do?
Whit: Lay in bed all day with a book and my OWN bowl of popcorn. (I think she has to share a lot.)
Soni: OK, I would clean my house till 4:00, then I would sit on my couch and just stare out the window and watch cars for awhile, then I would look through all my cookbooks and find the most AMAZING meal and cook it all for myself, and then I would eat as much as I want, then I would clean the kitchen and be happy it was going to stay clean the rest of the night, then I would go to bed at 8:00.
Whit: Are you writing all this down?
Me: Um, yes. Soni, that's quite the day.
Me: Girls, thank you for your cooperation. I have learned a lot as I'm sure our readers will.
Whit: (Silence.)
Soni: (Silence.)
Me: GIRLS!
Oy vey. :)

Brooke
Great interview. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteHa ha! It sounds like you girls have FAR too much fun with one another. Lovely interview, and I'm glad you chose to share it with us!
ReplyDeleteHa Ha!! Very Cute! Now we need to here from you Brooke :)
ReplyDeleteditto to The Belshes comment!
ReplyDeleteYou girls are just TOO cute. I was thinking when you said you needed to interview the others that it was because of the aweful things they saw in Vegas. That place is truly "Sin City" I love visiting the strip for the lights and glits but I sure can pass on the crap that they advertise ALL OVER THE PLACE.
ReplyDeleteYou girls have such good spirits about you and I love that about you. Keep up the spirit that you share with all of us. We need it.
Actually, what I think I said (when you told me you were interviewing me) was, "No. I am sleeping the whole flight home." And you said, "No you're not. I'm interviewing you." It's like you're the boss or something.
ReplyDeleteAnd...yes...I want to interview the 2 of you next. And then Soni can have a turn. Except, we'll probably have to come up with the questions for her.... :) :) :)
hehehehehehe....wow, much more info then i would imagine you'd get after one of your gals' marathon TOFW days! impressive! (: enjoy your holidays and a break from the busy-busy TOFW schedule. hope to see ya'll in the spring (beg to come to seattle, ok?!?)!
ReplyDeleteHOLD ON A MINUTE THEIR SONI!!! This is your husband speaking...I noticed I was NOT included in your "one day all to yourself." I realize its said "yourself" but since we are one, I would like to recommend that you add me to your activities...accept maybe staring out the window exercise...that seems very Forrest Gumpish, and quite boring. love you though
ReplyDeleteThis was fun Brooke. Thanks for making those two cooperate :) I can only imagine how tired you all must have been. Thanks so much for sharing your talents. You're such a fun group of gals. Brooke, can you please share your answers to your own questions?
ReplyDeleteDo you get to come to Fresno in April? Soni, how's that baby doing?
