Interview with… {Take 7}
As the eldest lad was home for a “visit”, we thought we’d torture oops, I mean interview the eldest Mayhem child…
If you were a movie character, which one would it be?
Master eighteen: What? What? Whaaat? How am I supposed to answer that question? I have no idea.
*The faces he made with his answer were something else. Just saying! 
Why are manhole covers round?
Master eighteen: That’s a stupid question.
*So I’m guessing we got a stupid answer. *sigh*
What is your favorite drink?
Master eighteen: Don’t have one.
*Juice. He drinks JUICE. Not softdrink or hot chocolate. Disappointing!
What is your favorite movie song?
Master eighteen: Don’t have one.
*Of course he doesn’t. 
If you could be a superhero, what would you want your superpowers to be?
Master eighteen: *sigh* Power to not be a superhero
*Blunt much? That’s my boy! 
If you won $20 million in the lottery, what would you do with the money?
Master eighteen: Spend it.
*Well yes. Duh! All of it. I’m sure some of it would be spent on his siblings though. 
How would you describe yourself in three words?
Master eighteen: Generally, I don’t.
*What CAN I say? Perfect. 
What do you like about camping?
Master eighteen: I don’t.
*Well for something he doesn’t like, he’s sure done a lot of it. Willingly.
What is your favourite food?
Master eighteen: I don’t have a favourite food.
*All food is his favourite food! It’s a boy thing, I’m sure.
What is your favourite game?
Master eighteen: I don’t have a favourite game.
*Other than being oppositional… I get it! I should have guessed. 
I’ll be the one in the corner twitching slightly until he’s safely on his plane back out West… Happy #IBOT!
Interview with… {Take 6}
Again interviewed over the phone, for extra amusement value… Master eight (the older one)…
If you were a movie character, which one would it be?
Master eight: I would be a… wait, does drama sort of count as a short movie? We’ve done two types of drama… (goes on to explain in depth the drama lessons he’s done at school recently)… (then says firmly) Tyler. I can’t think of a movie, but I’m choosing the name Tyler.
*I not sure this lad’s brain ever really slows down… I hope he remembers to breathe.
Why are manhole covers round?
Master eight: I don’t know.
*apparently this was his final answer and no further responses could be coaxed out of him! *sigh*
What is your favorite drink?
Master eight: Lemonade.
*It must be trait of having close siblings… to share favourite drinks! There should be a scientific study carried out on this theory!
What is your favorite movie song?
Master eight: I can’t remember the song. But I’ve got another song. Radioactive. That’s not from a movie, it’s just a song.
*Tangents. This child is infamous for them. Wonder WHERE he gets that from?
If you could be a superhero, what would you want your superpowers to be?
Master eight: (without hesitation) Fly, super strength and laser eyes. And super speed.
*So another on-the-spur-of-the-moment answer… right? NOT.
If you won $20 million in the lottery, what would you do with the money?
Master eight: I’d buy a pool.
*Hope we’re all invited to the pool parties then… it’s going to be a doozy!
How would you describe yourself in three words?
Master eight: Small, smart, nice.
*Such a modest lad too…
What do you like about camping?
Master eight: What I like about camping is that we get to enjoy the fresh air for longer and go bike riding for a long way.
*Apparently this isn’t available at home? Oh? I need to look into that.
What is your favourite food?
Master eight: Hmmm… Oh that’s tough. I have to say, um… I can’t remember. Oh, I remember! Pasta.
*NOT sushi! Thought I should point that out.
What is your favourite game?
Master eight: Monopoly.
*Yes. That. Didn’t we ban it? Fighting and disagreements galore. Even WITH three games of it in one household… oops.
Indeed it’s that day again… #IBOT with Jess at Essentially Jess and hanging out with the Mayhem crew!
Interview with… {Take 5}
On to the other half of the family…
Interviewing via telephone is always an interesting step but we’re a modern adaptable family… RIGHT?!
Without any further ado, please meet our illustrious, Master 10…
If you were a movie character, which one would it be?
Master ten: Um… I don’t know.
*Wonder what he was so engrossed in at that point in time? This being the lad capable of reciting numerous movie scripts, verbatim!
Why are manhole covers round?
Master ten: Manhole covers? (sounds puzzled) Because the hole is round?
*Two boys thought of this! Two out of eight children… not bad!
What is your favorite drink?
Master ten: Lemonade.
*Yes okay. I was betting on tea or hot chocolate!
What is your favorite movie song?
Master ten: Hmmm… What I’ve Done, from Transformers.
*Up loud I hope! (Is there any other way?)
If you could be a superhero, what would you want your superpowers to be?
Master ten: (answering instantly) Invisibility and speed.
*I’m thinking perhaps this is something he’s thought about a lot…
If you won $20 million in the lottery, what would you do with the money?
Master ten: I’d renovate the house and give some of it to charity.
*Yes! Although my curiosity would love to know which charity/ies! Oooh!
How would you describe yourself in three words?
Master ten: Ummm… Ummm… Ummm… I don’t know really! Scared of spiders? (giggles) Nah… I love birds!
*Birds? This almost explains why he likes owning a camera! 
What do you like about camping?
Master ten: Ummm, hmmm… I like that you get to be outdoors not inside, and I like that there’s lots of room to ride your bike or scooter, and you sleep in a tent.
*Winning!! The child who refused to go camping for-EVER is now singing it’s praises and wanting to go again. YESSSSSSS! *ahem*
What is your favourite food?
Master ten: Sushi! (immediate answer, loud and excited!)
*I think we’ll keep him – he fits in with everyone else in the family.
What is your favourite game?
Master ten: Umm, Minecraft or Tekkit.
*Cough* Goes to show there’s no stopping the virtual games… even for a child who loves boardgames usually! *sigh*
