The Vampire giveaway ends Friday at midnight.
One comment a day, every day, for more entries.
Post about the giveaway on your blog for three extra entries.
I've interviewed them before.
You can read one here or here.
Donny is 11 years old and in sixth grade (middle school).
His answers will be in blue.
Remy is 6 years old and in first grade.
His answers will be in red.
My questions and comments will be in this color.
When interviewing little people, you have to start off with questions they enjoy,
to warm them up and make them comfortable.
Then it's safe to work in meatier questions,
but you must always, always end with an alien question.
Here we go:
I gave birth to them but I have no idea how their thinking works!
That's all folks, from the minds of little people.
Ask your kids some of these questions and let me know what they say!!

Here we go:
What's your favorite thing to do with your friends during free time at school?
Remy: Play checkers or tag
Donny: Play around.
Me: What do you mean by playing around?
Donny: We just play around.
Me: Ok.
What's your favorite thing to do on the computer?
Remy: Webkinz
Donny: video games.
Me: Which ones?
Donny: Fun ones.
Me: (Why is he being difficult?)
Why do you think I give you quarters at the grocery store?
Remy: Because you're so nice. (flatterer)
Donny: To get us to behave. (smart boy)
What did you think of my pink highlights?
Remy: Pretty cool.
Donny: Pretty tight.
Me: What does that mean?
Donny: It means cool.
What do you want for Christmas?
Remy: Rockband 2, Legos and a million dollars.
Donny: An underground lab with robots who do anything I say.
Me: Well, I want an iPhone and a laptop computer.
If I try to meet up with some bloggers, such as Kat and Mama Dawg, would you want to go along?
Remy: Probably.
Donny: Yeah, I'd go along to save you from them kidnapping you. Cause that's how I roll.
Me: They might bring their daughters...
Remy: Nope, not going.
Me: Why, Remy, girls can be fun. You know, I'm a girl.
Remy: No, girls aren't fun, only Mommy.
Me: You always have fun with your girl cousins.
Remy: Maybe.
In Star Wars, kids start training to be Jedi's at a very young age. What would you like to start training to be, if you could start now?
Remy: A poop detector. I could get people who poop on the ground.
Me: Good lord. Remy, seriously.
Donny: Hey, you don't want to get me! I pooped that one time...
Me: Um, this is going on the blog.
Remy: That was diarrhea.
Me: Diarrhea is poop, Remy.
Remy: ok, a rock star who plays the drums.
Donny: I'd want to be a football-playing king in outer space.
Me: How on Earth are you going to train for that?
Donny: Well, I'm already playing football. I'll keep studying government at school to learn to be a king, and we know Jim (their grandfather) and he can teach me to be an astronaut.
Do you want a little brother or sister? (This isn't an IRL option, I was just curious about their response!)
Remy: No, because they'd be annoying.
Donny: Yes, a little sister.
Me: Why a sister and not a brother?
Donny: Because Remy's getting boring and I think it'd be fun to have someone different to play with.
At this point, Remy yells at his brother to shut up and starts crying...Donny has to explain he was kidding. UGH
If you discovered Annie was an alien, how would you find out and what would you do?
Remy: Her nose would turn green, so I would know she's an alien, and I'd keep her.
Donny: I'd know she's an alien because she'd poop out a cow. I'd keep her secret from the government.
Remy: Play checkers or tag
Donny: Play around.
Me: What do you mean by playing around?
Donny: We just play around.
