I am sitting at a table of six year old boys- all are drawing pictures of volcanoes. I am eavesdropping.
“Who do you want to win, Paul. Snakes or poachers?”
“I don’t want to answer that. Make it snakes and pandas.”
“What about poachers or pandas?”
“Pandas.”
“Can you draw the volcano for me, Peter?”
“The big one or the small one?”
“Start with the big one and then do the small one.”
“Willow! Did you know that the first Fort Stevens is just all grass now? And I got to shoot this teeny miniature cannon. It was only about two inches big. It makes smoke and a clicking sound.”
Pablo interjects- “That’s not even a real gun, Bruno.”
“I know.”
“Kevin, why do you always draw that same robot?”
“I just like it.”
“Are those Ewoks?”
“Yeah, they’re A-1 Ewoks. That’s a new movie or something.”
“Can I make a peanut cannon?”
“Yeah.”
“Okay, no one copy me.”

God, I love your kids.
“It’s um uh…a jellyfish.”
ha ha i love it! write a script!
Is this all from recall? If so, I bow to you. I bow. Your cameo on the UB2 challenge video? Made it for me. Really, it did.
Right before I started tearing my hair out going: HOWWWWW?
Zoe, you will do great. Remember- you don’t HAVE to sing. It’s all about creative interpretation, baby. Get irreverent.
As for recall: yeah, right. I transcribed as the words tumbled out of their mouths. Blogging on the job? Priceless.
