After my daughter turned three, she told me that she was going to be three forever. I asked her why and she said that if she turned four she would have to turn five and then she would have to go to school.
I went away and thought about it as she was very serious. I came back and said that was fine but she would not have more birthdays then. She went off to think about this and came back and said, “OK, I’ll be four.”
She is nearly thirty and still loves birthdays. When she a little older, I had to put a limit on the time she talked about her birthday as it would have a major topic for the whole year from right after she had another one!
hahaha, that story made my day :D birthdays rule, indeed!
hahaha.. great interview!
hehe, thank you. she refused to be a designer or an illustrator :P
