Here's a hard hitting interview I did with Ezra recently:
Papa: So, Calvin, do you want to do an interview with me that I can put on Mama's blog?
Calvin: NO! What's an interview?
Papa: I ask you questions about stuff and you answer them. It'll be cool.
Calvin: Okaaaay.
Papa: Alright, so, being a homeschooled kid, how do you plan what you're going to do with your day.
Calvin: ...I don't know. I don't want to do this right now. did you bring anything to eat?
Ezra: I know how I plan MYYYY daaaaaay.
Papa: Ok. How do you plan your day Ez?
Ez: Well, I get up and I just know that I. want. to. .......play frisbee! (he never plays frisbee)
Papa: This isn't a puff piece Ezra. Tell me what you've been up to lately. What are you learning about right now?
Ez: We're driving in the car.
Papa: Right, well not this very instant but what are you doing around the house that you like.
Ez: I've been writing my letters!
Papa: Yeah. What are you working on with your letters?
Ez: My story books, like little house on the prairie and a letter to Gramp and a letter to Amelia (his penpal in Australia).
Papa: Are you typing your letters at the computer or writing by hand?
Ez: I like to type them at the computer but Mama says I need to write them sometimes too.
Papa: What else are you up to? You've been playing a lot of music lately, huh?
Ez: I like to make recipes!
Papa: Oh yeah. Tell me about how you decide what will go into an Ezra recipe.
Ez: Well mostly I get ideas from watching movies.
Papa: Are you kidding? People are going to see this and think you hang out and watch movies all day and that's where you get your ideas from.
Ez: Well I do.
Papa: Moving along to your other influences for recipes.
Ez: I just put in whatever I think will taste good unless you tell me it will be too wasteful and I won't want to eat it.
Papa: Do you usually eat what you've made?
Ez: Sometimes.
Papa: So, you've been playing lots of music lately - like on your keyboard. Do you think about your songs ahead of time or wait until you get at an instrument and just start playing?
Ez: I just push all the keys and when I find the notes that I really REALLY like... I keep them.
Papa: Ezra.
Ez: What?
Papa: You're awesome.
Ez: Heeeeeeeeeee. Can we get ice cream?
