If you could change the world, what would you do? Make everyone forget how to make atomic bombs. I would tell them E=MC cubed. [I had this look of confusion, until Brevan said, "Don't you remember?

What is your first thought when you wake up? Am I still alive? And then if I am, I can go on with my day.

What is the grossest thing you can think of? Looking at the apple I've just been eating and seeing half a maggot coming out.

What is your earliest memory? My Noah's Ark bedroom in the condo [in Pleasant Grove]. And I built a shopping cart out of tinker-toys when we lived there.
Do you ever have a dream that comes back over and over? The one with the monsters under the bed. There's a purple one, a green one, a yellow one and a slimy worm-like one that likes to chat.
Do I ever not notice that you are sad? No, you always notice.

At what age do you think you've been the cutest in your lifetime? When I was only two and was a ring bearer [at Erin's wedding] with Kelsi [who was the flower girl.] I love those pictures.
Name a TV star that you don't like. Michael Jackson. I don't know why.

What is the most enjoyable thing our family has done together? Go to Disneyland.
At what age do you think kids can fall in love? 16. You can't date until then.
What do you think is beyond the stars? More human beings.

On a scale from one to nine, how strict do you think I am? 1. Where on the scale would you like me to be? 0.
What would be the ideal allowance amount? I don't think parents should give money to kids. But I would still like it. It's just like when people always want to be richer, and are never happy.

I love stuff like this- especially looking back on it in a few years. It helps refresh my memory and the kids love it too.
The Porter family has had so much fun reading the interviews of your kids. We feel like we know them better! We have "favorite lines" from each of the kids. On Brevan's, we particularly like his description of what makes a girl good looking!
