The idea for this blog came about when I read Rosie Scribble’s hilarious post The Little Girl Who Thinks She Runs The Country. Turns out quite a few mummy bloggers have been interviewing their children lately, all with similarly amusing results.
Now my 4 year old quite frequently astounds and amuses me with the strange things that come out of her mouth – most recently telling a stranger a complete lie that she has a pet fly that she keeps in a jar with holes in the lid!! So I decided to sit her down and, in true Jeremy Paxman style, give her a good grilling. Here’s what we came up with:
How old are you?
4
How old is mummy?
26 (result!!)
How old is Grandma
37 (oh)
Who is in charge of the country?
I am (there seems to be a lot of this meglomania about)
Who is The Queen
You are (why, thank you)
What does Barak Obama do?
Builds houses (tee hee)
What is your favourite food?
Roasted Fox (too much Gruffalo methinks)
What is your favourite song?
Twinkle Twinkle Little Volcano (??!!)
Where do carrots come from?
Rabbits (umm….)
Where do bananas come from?
Monkeys (I sense a theme here….)
How does a car work?
By using its engine (quite impressive)
What do you like doing at school?
Dressing up (not very educational)
What does mummy do while you are at school?
Do work and drink cups of tea (pretty accurate)
Where do babies come from?
Houses (phew!)
Where does poo come from? (naughty mummy, couldn’t resist!)
People, dogs, cats and puppies (not bottoms then)
What do you want to be when you grow up?
A rock and roller (a fine ambition, more than happy with that)
If you have children, what names will they have?
Pantomime and Chaviana (WHAT???!!!)
What makes you happy?
Molly (her little sister – aaaahhh)
All I need to know now is where she’s getting her magic mushrooms from!!!

Interview with a 4 year old
Ok you really need to name your grandchildren
So cute I loved it!
A rock and roller eh? All of the GREAT albums by Led Zeppelin, Motorhead and Metallica have found their way back……..once Imagination Movers is over!
Am still wiping my eyes!
For fun, I interviewed Annie’s future husband for compatibility purposes.
He does know how to grow carrots, he is in charge of the country, his children will be called Fred and Lucy and when he grows up he is going to be a superhero.
I think that’s a fair match…
Fab post!
Brilliant and hilarious! Poor Barack doesn’t seem to come out very well in these interviews! My daughter thinks my mother is the same age as me. Babies come from houses? That’s funny too!
It’s the names of my future grandchildren that perturbs me the most. I may have to take out some kind of injunction with allows me to have the final say – LOL!!
Absolutely fantastic! She’s got a very talented head on her young shoulders! Is this something that anyone can do? The questions might be a bit easy for Amy as she’s 10, but I’m sure I could come up with some classics.

LOL! Now I have to interview Joey…. (Ella’s answers would be far too sensible!)
I couldn’t resist and have interviewed Mari and posted on my FB
EH xx
Pantomime is a fine name for a child and totally asexual. Imagine the working opportunities on the run up to Christmas too!!
