On Monday I let all the kids stay home from school for a "Mental Health Day." I think everyone needs occasional days when they get to recharge their physical and emotional batteries. While the kids spent the day relaxing, I had them fill out these interviews in their own handwriting.
Brevan has always struggled with his handwriting, so some of this is nearly impossible to read. When he wrote that he would like to change the family rule of video games at 4:00, he meant on Sunday when we try to keep the Sabbath Day holy. I love that he wants to be a Computer Analytics Scientist, that he is a good friend due to his "epic awesomeness," that the hardest thing for him about being 14 is dealing with the jocks, that he is so opinionated about politics, that he thinks the best age to be is 60 because it's "summer all the time" (when you retire and don't have as many responsibilities), in 5 years he will be a billionaire, in 10 years he will be a trilllionaire, and in 15 years he will be exalted, that he can't stop daydreaming about girls, that he wants to be poor and attractive so he can model and become rich, his hatred for exercise, and that he doesn't think he's ever had a prayer answered (even though we can give him hundred of examples).
