20 Questions-4 Years Old

I started the interview asking Eli some personal questions-what his full name was, how to spell it, his address, the name of the city he lived in, the name of his state, my phone number, Josh's phone number, Josh's occupation, and my occupation. He answered everything except for my occupation. He said that when I drop him off at school I go to my school and read my kids books. He couldn't tell me I was a teacher :) That makes me laugh considering he spends so much time at my school in my classroom. Even despite not knowing what I do for a living, he's learned so much in just a year! Last year, he could spell his name and was just beginning to learn his address. It's amazing what a year can do!

(This was the first time he'd ever said a police officer so I prodded some more and here was the conversation we had...)

Eli-Everyone! But not you

Me-Not me? What about Daddy?

Eli-Nope!

Eli-Nope I'm giving a ticket to them...lots of tickets...they gotta buy me lots of money!

I'm so glad that's he learning bribery at an early age...good grief! Looks like I have some explaining to do about what police officers actually do :) I can't wait to see what his 5 year old interview is like :)
