Another Happy Birthday.

This day 6 years ago, our second boy came into the world at 9.30pm.  An hour and a half after reaching the hospital. 

Born on New Year’s Night.  Not the best time in the world to be born. 

Having a December birthday myself, I spent much of my youth trying to figure out if it sucked or was a blessing in disguise being born so close to Christmas.

He’s not doing too badly for himself. 

He has had a family birthday celebration already and he will do it all over again with his school pals in a couple of weeks. 

To mark his 6^th birthday, he very kindly allowed me to interview him. 

Allow me to add in the odd photo of him growing up as he answers his questions.  I would like to start with his very first picture ever, taken when he was approximately twenty minutes old.

Let the interview begin.

How old are you?  

5

What is your favourite animal? 

Great white shark.  Because he has sharp teeth and can tear down prey.

What is your favourite food? 

Apples.  But my teeth are falling out and a bit sore so I don’t eat them now.

Lego Lord of the Rings.  It’s on my Nintendo DS

Play with my brothers but not all the time coz sometimes they are a bit mean.

 When we went to Rosslare.  Because there was a beach.

When you are around.  (I swear I did not prompt him on that one.  But I may have wanted to cry when he said it.)

What makes you sad?

If someone whacked me.

Maybe a scientist.

I would ask for a big motorbike!
