Interview With A Preschooler. (Or three.)

I jumped on the "Father's Day Interview" bandwagon with our three kids this year. 

Much like the others that I'd read, our results were funny and heartwarming and tear-jerking, all at the same time. 

I think it's safe to say that a new tradition has been born. 
Below are the results of the survey, as given by Luke (age 4) and Josie (age 3) and *Nathan (age 1.5).

My plan is to interview the kids each year around Father's Day and keep each as a record of how their answers change as they grow up. As funny and lighthearted as we think they are now, I'm sure they will be a treasure to us when they've grown and flown the coop. (Not that I am wishing that day to come anytime soon. Believe that.)
