Kid of the Week
favorite color was.
He informed me it was
blue. Always blue. When
I asked him why blue, he
t01d me with a sense of
appreciation, it was because
of the water and the sky.
Next I asked him what
his favorite subject was in
school. We began to meander
again.
I learned that handwriting
makes his hand tired and he
likes to take a break now and
then to give his arm a rest.
I learned that he plays
guitar and has been taking
lessons for two years.
I learned his mum and dad

played too and his little sister
was learning and that he had
something lined up for his
baby brother.
I learned he had seen a
movie recenflywithvampires,
zombies and monsters and it
had, "really freaked him out."
However I failed to find
out what his favorite subject
was.
I went on to the topic of
Christmas. I asked him if he
liked Christmas and he told
me emphatically that he
loved Christmas.
I noticed some time ago
they had put their tree up
early and he told me, October
"When the American spirit was in its youth, the
language of America was different: Liberty,
sir, was the primary object."

23rd.
He told me that on
Halloween, his mum pulled
the shades on the tree so
trick or treaters coming to
the house wouldn't see it and
"think maybe she was a little
crazy."
Technically, before
Halloween is only a "little"
early and it's almost
immediate after the 31st that
one spots trees going up in
houses.
Now, July might be
considered early around
here, but only if you're setting
up a live tree.
The earliest I ever had
one up was when I lived in
Norway, high on a hill where
the lights from my tree could
be seen by all. l too felt they
might think me a little crazy
too as I was working on a
Christmas video to send
home and had the tree up
and lit from October 1st until
Christmas... or was it Easter.
It stayed up a while too.
Anyway Daniel said he's
hoping for a radio control
shark for Christmas. He
claims it can dive to 10 feet.
I'm kind of an RC buff and
have seen some model
submarines that will do the
same.
Oops, we'd wandered off
once again and the kids were
coming out of the classrooms
to get back to the question
sheet. I asked if he could
bring something back from
the past, what would that be.
He asked, how far back and
I told him, "way back."
He tried to establish the
meaning of way back by
asking if it was when he was
five.., four.., three .... 0. We
began making dots on a piece
of paper, linearly aligned to
represent time.
No, I told him, farther back
than that, back past when
your mum and dad were 0.
He began looking down
the table as an extension of
our time line.
When I started getting to
past when his grandparents
were 0, he started looking
down the hall as a measure
of time.
Although we never did
come up with something
to bring back, we did find
a fun way to almost travel
back in time by following
the evolving time line that
eventually went all the way
down the hallway to infinity
or maybe a little farther.
The kids were crowded all
around us now so we took
a quick picture and Daniel
went to get his snow gear on
and head for home
Merry Christmas Daniel,
it was a fun and interesing
interview. Thanks for taking
