How Is This Possible?

YESTERDAY...

TODAY...

Jacob will be FIVE years old tomorrow. It doesn't seem possible. A few days ago, I sat down with him to ask him a few questions.  Sort of a record of his thinking process at the age of five. Jacob is NOT a man of few words. Most of the questions required a long dissertation and I had to interrupt him to get on with the next questions.  Then he began suggesting questions for me to ask him! So here goes.

Nana:  Who is your best friend?

Jacob:  Ummmm...Nana?  (good answer)

N:  What do you want for your birthday?

J:  I want a pirate ship so I can put all my pirate stuff in.

N:  What's your favorite food?

J:  Maybe broccoli--it makes me strong and healthy.

N:  What do you NOT like to eat?

J:  Deers...like the hair on it's head. 

N:  What's your favorite thing to do at school?

J:  Learn and play with toys.

N:  How high can you count?

J:  About 30 feet high.

N:  What do you want to be when you grow up?

J:  I'd like to be a daddy like my daddy so I can have a sharp knife--but they're not for play.

N:  If you could do anything you want today, what would it be?

J:  Play with Husker and Sissy and Momma and Daddy on the trampoline and Piercen and Baylor with the toys.

N:  If you could have any animal for a pet, what would it be?

J:  A baby sheep--that my dog couldn't tear his hair off cause he would be naked and he would be pink and a kangaroo with a baby in his pouch.

N:  What's your favorite sport?

J:  Soccer and baseball and hockey and the olympics.

N:  Who do you think you're going to marry?

J:  I don't marry anyone--I'm just a kid.

N:  Does anything scare you?

J:  No.  Not gooey monsters cause I can get the hair spray and spray 'em and they'll melt down.

N:  What is your favorite toy?
J:  Power Ranger swords.

N:  Do you want more sisters and brothers or just Sissy?

J:  I want more bruvers and sisters, cause when Sissy grows up and is a girl, then I will have a bruver and we will call him Deer Hunter.
