Interview with a four year old

If you ever wondered what goes on in a four year old’s mind when contemplating her father’s birthday.

Mom:  Okay Piper, let’s start with an easy one.  How would you describe your dad in one word?

Piper:  I like that he’s so goofy and silly and I like that he’s a googoo head.

Mom:  Good stuff.  What's your favorite thing to do with Daddy?

Piper:  My favorite thing to do with Daddy is, um, play with him.  I like to play with him sooooo much!  (Very intense, scrunched up face)

Mom:  What’s the best time you ever had with Daddy?

Piper:  Watching the movie today with him.  (Recency effect)

Mom:  What’s the most fun place to go with Daddy?

Piper:  Mall of Americaaaa!!!  (No hesitation)

Mom:  If Dad were a superhero what would his name be?

Piper:  Ummmmm… Super Dan!!!

Mom: How tall is Daddy?

Piper:  Fourteen tall.

Mom:  What color are Daddy’s eyes?

(Runs out of room, down the stairs, and then comes back a minute later)

Piper:  Ummm…. GREEN!

Mom:  Okay.  Tell me a story about Daddy and Piper.

Piper:  Ummm. Ummm.  Once long ago there was a Super Daddy and there was a little Piper.  And she was stuck.  In a tree.  And Super Daddy came to help her.  And they lived happily ever after.  The end.

Another story, please!  Please another story!

Mom:  Okay… go for it.

Piper:  Once upon a time there was a Super Piper.  And Daddy was walking along.  And then he got stuck in a tree.  And then Super Piper came to help Daddy and then they lived happily ever after.  And that is the end of that storrryyyy.

Mom:  What should Daddy wish for on his birthday?

Piper:   I think he should wish for… hmmm… his daddy.  He’s gonna wish for his daddy.
