When it comes to writing in high
school, it seems to be very involved, complex, creative, and requires hours on
end to perfect a piece. However, before we ever knew how to write a persuasive
essay, do a works cited page, incorporate quotes, write a thesis, or even a
sentence for that matter- where did it all begin? If I had a time machine to go
back in time, I would interview myself in my toddler years when I first became
influenced by a piece of paper and a writing utensil. The bad news- I have no
time machine. The good news- I have a three year old niece!
My niece Amina is just about the
happiest little girl I know. She loves Disney princesses, Dora the Explorer, dancing,
ballerinas, and fortunately for me, writing! For only being three,
Amina interacts with people surprisingly well. She can ask me questions, she
can answer my questions, she offers her opinion (which isn’t always pleasant,
particularly when she doesn’t get what she want), and she can even sing songs.
So, I had a three year old who is wildly entertaining, a video camera, and a
blog assignment to complete. What does this equation add up to? An interview
with a three year old. Below, you can watch the video to get the full scope of
our interview, which I highly suggest. JUST KIDDING BECAUSE THIS BLOG IS AWESOME AND WON'T SUPPORT MY VIDEO FILE.
