INTERVIEWS WITH CHILDREN
link
Laura: You’re seven now. How is it being seven?
Coen: It’s okay. I liked being six more though.
L: Why?
C: I don’t know. It’s like Neverland in Peter Pan. What are you writing?
L: I’m typing what you say.
C: Huh?
L: It’s not a big deal. I’m just writing down what we say. So you think that being six was like Neverland. What is seven like?
C: Getting older. Or winning a grade.
L: What is your favorite thing to do now?
C: Um, Go to school.
L: What do you like about school?
C: It’s weird. Why are you interviewing me? Don’t write that down, what I just said.
L: I’m interviewing you for a project Harrell’s doing. Interviews with children.
C: Oh. Is he a artist?
L: Yes.
C: Is he the one that said he likes that drawing? (points to his drawing of spaceships and elaborate docking system)
L: Yeah, he is. What are you most worried about at seven?
C: That I’ll die soon.
L: Really? Why are you laughing about it?
C: Hmmmm. Because it’s a joke.
L: You’re not really worried about that?
C: Uh-uh.
L: So are you worried about anything?
C: No.
L: Tell me about your chickens.
C: They’re tiny, only this big. (makes an inch with fingers) And one is this big. (holds hands over head)
L: Are you going to answer any of my questions or just mess around?
C: Answer questions
