Have I told you about my friend David?
Well, he’s a really cool guy with a great family, and just go check out his website, you’ll understand better. Also, his Twitter account where you have the best chances to find him if you’re looking for him online. He’s also on a few more platforms and he has had the great idea of having one unique online nickname: BigKamo. That’s very useful indeed when you want people to remember all your social media accounts and such… Not like yours truly who has probably three or four. However, you will have noticed that recently I’m trying to change this and popularize DavidB as much as possible.
Do you need more? Well, know that he’s Australian, that he’s married to an awesome Japanese woman and they have three great kids. In 2019, the family decided to go on a very interesting trip around the world, and… well, some plans had to change, but seriously, just go check his website and his various social media accounts, it’ll be more interesting than me just telling you about him.
Where am I going with this?
Well, his two older kids are very close in age to mine, and they’re all very good friends.
About a year ago, David interviewed his kids and posted the interview on Facebook.
And as his kids were eager to know what my kids thought about the answers, I decided to interview them too.
And because I’m adding content to this blog before officially launching it and I had previously posted this somewhere else, here it is again. The interview of my kids from last year! (maybe I should do an updated version sooner or later)
My two kids are H (girl, eight year old) and K (boy, four year old)
| If you won a million dollars, what would you buy? |
| – H: Lego, and a car when I’m an adult. – K: Toys, and an ice cream shop when I’m an adult. |
| What does Mom always say to you? |
| – H: “No.” – K: (He had no idea what to answer) |
| What does Dad always say to you? |
| – H: “Ok, but just a little.” – K: “Be nice.” |
| What job would you like to do when you’re an adult? |
| – H: Pharmacist or nurse – K: Ice cream shop owner |
| Where do babies come from? |
| – H: from women’s tummies – K: from women’s tummies (I think he had never considered the thing before and he just repeated what his sister said) |
| At what age do you become an adult? |
| – H: “Well, you enter university at 18, so I guess you’re an adult at 22” (good reasoning here, daughter) – K: 43 |
| If you could eat one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be? |
| – H: Pork (she just recently became obsessed with various pork dishes for some reason) – K: French fries |
| How much does it cost to buy a house? |
| – H: Around 100,000 yen (that’s a bit less than €/$1,000) – K: 10 coins |
| Why do you think we should be nice to other people? |
| – H: If you’re not nice, other people will be sad. – K: You must not do bad things to friends. |
| What does love mean? |
| – H: It’s when people like each other. Also, hugs. – K: I love everyone (in the family). Also, being nice. |
| What are you scared of? |
| – H: Ghosts.. and Hell (a Japanese version of Hell, she doesn’t know about the Christian mythology thing) – K: Oni (a Japanese monster, kind of a mix between a demon and an ogre, you can read more about them there) |
| What is the most important to you? |
| – H: being alive, because if I’m not alive I can’t do anything else, so that’s the most important. – K: Pokémon… and Netflix… and cars… (He has very recently discovered the joys of binge-watching on Netflix, et he had played with his toy cars all day before I interviewed him – oh and concerning the binge-watching thing, do not worry, I closely monitor what they watch and how long they watch it. However, they’re allowed to watch for a longer time if it’s in French – as cartoons are pretty much their only French input besides me and their mom – also, they were on Spring vacation, but they had to stay inside most days because of this stupid virus, so they were allowed to watch TV more than usual, and yes, I feel the need to justify myself because I think kids in general watch way too much TV these days, and it’s always a difficult balance to attain especially in this very specific situation (the need for as much French input at possible with as little time in front of the TV as possible) |
Ok, that’s all for today. If you have kids, do not hesitate to interview them too, and share the answers with me, even more so if I know them. Cheers.
