A character interview! HUZZAH! My MC, at age 5, declined these questions, but I told him he'd get cookies if he answered, so now he's willing.

1) Hi there! What's your name?

--Isaac.

2) Who do you live with? If you don't live with your parents, where are they? Do you know?

--There's Memphis and Michael and mom and dad. No one else.

3) How do you feel about your parents/guardian(s)?

--Mom's with Michael a lot. And dad likes talking to me, but I don't see him all the time. It's okay though. I'd rather play with Memphis.

4) Do you have any siblings? How do they treat you/how do you treat them?

--I just told you. There's Memphis and Michael. Michael doesn't talk yet, but he's still kind of loud and Memphis shows me stuff.

5) What's your favorite color?

--I like blue, but I also like green and red. It doesn't really matter.

6) Where do you live? Do you like it?

--Mom says we live near the border. Apparently that's bad. I don't think it's bad. Me and Memphis get to go on plane rides because our neighbor's grandpa used to be a pilot. We play with Sherry too.

7) Do you ever play games? What's your favorite toy?

--I like racing Memphis. I beat her once, I can do it again. I don't have any favorite toys.

8) Finish this sentence: "Once upon a time there was a princess..."

--And then she died. (Me: Isaac! >:O)

9) Do you want a cookie?

--Finally, yes!

10) What do you want to be when you grow up?

--I don't know. Memphis already knows. She's gonna be a pilot.

11) How do you feel about school? Have you started yet? If not, are you excited?

--Yeah, I started. Some of it is cool. But it gets boring after I don't see Memphis for a while.

12) Don't you know not to talk to strangers?

--Memphis and mom tell me not to. I don't want to either.

BQ: If you could say one thing to your adult self, what would it be?

--Is Memphis a pilot yet?

BQ2: (As your character's current age) If you could say one thing to your 5 year old self, what would it be?

--Would it make a difference? I don't think I could convince myself, to be honest. But there is something more important - I'd tell him to take care of and watch out for Michael. He'd listen to that.

I'll pick a three-year-old in my novel. (Close enough. lol)

1) Hi there! What's your name?

Phillies Bear, but you can call me Phil.

2) Who do you live with? If you don't live with your parents, where are they? Do you know?

I never really had parents. Some dude kept me on a shelf with baseballs, pennants and stuff like that. Then he threw me away. Then I met my buddies in a Dumpster. We live together now.

Um, they're right next to me. Can't you see them? It's not like I talk with humans without some kind of protection. I'm three, not stupid.

3) How do you feel about your parents/guardian(s)?

Well, they aren't parents, and I guard them as much as they guard me, but they're cool.

4) Do you have any siblings? How do they treat you/how do you treat them?

By the end of our adventures, we decided we were brothers. That's why my last name is Bear. I didn't used to have a last name. They're cool. They saved my life.

5) What's your favorite color?

I don't care. That sounds like a girlie question.

6) Where do you live? Do you like it?

I can't tell you. You might get us taken to the dump again, so we're keeping where we live a secret. It's a good place to live. Get's a little crowded in the tent when it rains, but otherwise, what's not to like?

7) Do you ever play games? What's your favorite toy?

Of course I play games. I'm three. What are you expecting me to do--have a job?

Can I be my favorite toy? I'm a teddy bear and some people think teddy bears are toys. If I can't be my own toy, then my favorite toys are my new brothers. They're teddy bears too.

I don't like skateboards anymore, but I hope Tommy teaches me to like them again. That ride was fun.

8) Finish this sentence: "Once upon a time there was a princess..."

And she smelled and liked to do girlie things, because that's what a princess is like. The end.

9) Do you want a cookie?

Got 5000 cookies? A few of my friends would like one too. Got any hotdogs? They taste good.

10) What do you want to be when you grow up?

I'm not growing up. Why would I want to grow up?

11) How do you feel about school? Have you started yet? If not, are you excited?

One good thing about being a teddy bear is no school.

12) Don't you know not to talk to strangers?

I have 5000 of my closest friends right here with me. I dare you try anything. :D

BQ: If you could say one thing to your adult self, what would it be?

What's wrong with you? Why did you grow up? You're a teddy bear. You never had to. What's wrong with you?

Is that one thing? I can't count past three.

BQ2: (As your character's current age) If you could say one thing to your 5 year old self, what would it be?

So, is five as cool as three? Do my brothers let me do more stuff when I'm five? They kind of treat me like I'm a little kid. Do they get over that in the future?

Pssst, my older self never really answered. Is anything wrong with him?

So? Where's that cookie? If you don't have 5000, then make it really big. We're hungry.
