For this issue of Blooming Buds and their views on the world, we are speaking with Sophie, a busy little 5-year old.
BB: If you could talk to flowers what you say to them?
S: Hello, flowers.
BB: If your mother was a little girl just your age, what would you want to do with her?
S: I would sell her.
BB: What is the most important thing your older brothers and sisters have taught you?
S: They try to teach me how to bat a ball into a hoop and I missed.
BB: How would you want to change the world?
S: I would ask Heavenly Father to change the world.
BB: What qualities do you want your future husband to possess?
S: He should be handsome.
BB: What do you want to be when you grow up?
S: A lawyer mom—one that saves people from cops.
BB: If you could give pre-kindergarteners a new piece of advice, what would it be? What do you wish you had known when you started?
S: I would tell her she could grow a sunflower house and live in it or sleep in it.
BB: What is your favorite color?
S: Pink
BB: If you could have any pet in the world, what would you have?
S: Cat or dog.
BB: What would you name it?
S: Dog would be Cosmo. Cat would be Winnie-the-Pooh. (She was looking at her mother's BYU-Provo pillow pet named Cosmo and then looked over to the shelf where there was a Winnie-the-Pooh. The original Winnie-the-Pooh.)
BB: What is the best thing about being a 5-year old girl?
S: Going to school.
BB: What is the worst thing?
S: Being in time out. (She said with her face down on her arm.)
Her mother tells me she concluded the interview by swiveling around in the chair, putting feet up on the back, and hanging her head upside down.
