To give you some background on my family dynamic: I am exactly 13 years older than my twin brothers. And I mean exactly: they were born on my birthday (that's when the chaos began). They keep me young, that's for sure. I'm always blown away by their witty one-liners. I've been seeing a lot of posts online that have to do with interviewing children, and I figured this would be a perfect opportunity to pick their brains. Here is some of their infinite knowledge on some random topics. In italics I will include my reaction because I can't help it.
Q: "How's Life?"
Zack: "Well I've been getting in trouble a lot. Usually for jumping in the hallway."
Of all the things to get in trouble for...
Nathan: "My girlfriend is pretty stressful."
It only gets worse from here, buddy.
Q: "What's the hardest thing about being a kid?"
Z: "Going to school. Math is hard. And religion too. And social studies. And Spanish. Man, Spanish is hard."
I feel you bro. Four years of Spanish and I'm still at a second grade level.
N: "Getting flu shots."
...no comment.
Q: "What's the most embarrassing thing that has happened to you?"
Z: "Once I farted in class and it was really loud so everyone heard."
N: "Someone caught me itching my butt."
Interesting...
Q: “If you have a crush, how do you tell them you like them?”
N: "They'll tell you. They'll whisper in your ear."
I'll keep this one in mind.
Z: "Well, I asked a girl if she liked me and she said she liked me from the wall of the cafeteria to the other wall. It was actually pretty long. She said she only liked Gavin from the wall to the basketball hoops."
Oh, the times when affection was measured by the diameter of a cafeteria...
Q: “At what age is a person an adult? Why do you think so?"
Z: "I think 28 years old. You can drive and eat McDonald's every day."
Thank you for realizing I'm definitely not "adult" enough yet.
N: "Nineteen. That's a pretty long age."
Valid point.
Q: “Are you a good friend? Why do you think so?”
Z: "I’m a good friend because when it's someone's birthday and when they open all the gifts and we get to watch them, I pretend to be happy, even when I’m not. It’s boring."
Don't we all.
N: "I'm a good friend because on accident when my friend says a bad word, I don’t tell the teacher on him."
Snitches get stitches.
Q: “Would you cheat on a test if you knew you would not get caught? Why/why not?”
Z: "No. I do not want to be a cheater. Plus if they got it wrong and I copied then I would still be wrong. Even if I got it right or wrong, it's still wrong."
I admire that logic.
N: "Yes. Because my teacher never looks at us, so I have a way better chance. I’m a bad boy."
Not surprised at all.
Q: "If you could grow up to be famous, what would you want to be famous for?”
Z: "Worldwide championship of all WWE."
N: "Being a celebrity for Justin Bieber. Celebrity means you help him, so that means I would be famous for helping him."
(I asked him to clarify)
Q: “Of all the things you are learning? What will be most useful when you are an adult?”
Z: "Counting money."
I appreciate this.
N: "Geography and math and money and ... and history … worldwide history. Black history. I like all history."
Q: “Who do you think should be president?”
Z: "Me. Because I’ll help people and be a very nice president and try to save the world from the Nazi’s or tsunamis or whatever wars … like the British! Or Hitler, you never know if he’s dead. – He is dead – I don’t know that. They never found his body."
That was brilliant.
N: No comment.
Me either.
