Interview with a 3-6-9-year-old(s)

Well, this sucks. When I started this, the only place I had seen it was on the Facebook friend's page I stole it from. In the ensuing three weeks (I'd done two of them and then forgotten about it), I've seen it four times it this sort of venue. Coulduv been a leader, now just another on the pile.

Enjoy!
