This year I thought I would conduct a little interview with Ben so that I can document exactly where he is at in this moment. He was in a pretty silly mood. I'm not sure all the answers make sense. But it was fun.
Me: Hi Ben! How you doin?
Ben: Good! Really Good!
Me: What's going on today?
Ben: (silly) Ma birfday! This birthday cake is awesome!
Me: So how old are you today?
Ben: I'm six. Six.
Me: Do you feel any older?
Ben: Mmm. Yeah a little bit.
Me: Are you having a good day?
Ben: Yep. Great day!
Me: What's your favorite part so far?
Ben: The cake!
Me: What's your favorite color?
Ben: You know! It's green! What you talkin' 'bout dude?
Me: You're silly today.
Ben: Yeah, I know!
Me: What's your favorite food?
Ben: Nachos.
Me: What do you think you want to be when you grow up?
Ben: Hmmm. I just wanna help people if they're sick. Do all kinds of cool things. Every job in the world. I just wanna go to Florida. And Kansas, cuz that's where the tornados are. I wanna be a tornado chaser.
Me: What is your favorite animal?
Ben: Umm... probably a squirrel. (?)
Me: Do you like school?
Ben: Yeah I do! Well, kinda.
Me: What's your favorite toy?
Ben: Bear-bear. He's special. Really special.
Me: If you could go anywhere where would you like to go?
Ben: I like the kids' museum and sledding and up north and EAA and the Maritime Museum.
Me: Okay, what if you had to pick ONE.
Ben: Okay, fine. Up north. I love the cabin.

Ben: Angry Birds. And chess. I can play chess. And I'm only five! I mean six!

Ben: Any kind of tornado book.

Ben: Throw snowballs. Make snowmen. Play with my brothers an' stuff. In summer we ride bikes.
Me: What is your favorite sport?
Ben: Soccer.
Me: Where is your favorite place to spend time?
Ben: With my family.
Me: What is your favorite movie?
Ben: The Three Stooges
Me: What is your favorite season and why?
Ben: Summer!!! Because we blow bubbles and swim and stuff.
Me: Are you a good boy, Benny?
