I really liked when I was five—four, five, and six.  When I was younger, I was really really wondering what it would be like to be older.  I still wonder about that.

[One day you’ll find out, so enjoy every day you have now.]

I’m really curious–are you kids looking forward to being older, or is now the best, most fun time?  Do you have an age you want to be?]

Well, I don’t know.  Now that we’re in junior high it’s kind of crazy because in three years, we’ll be learning how to drive.  It’s kind of scary.  I guess I look forward, but not a lot.

I think a time I would look forward to is when I graduate from college because right now, I kind of have a plan for if I could pick whatever I would do when I grow up.  I know what I would do—I really want to be a writer, but I want to own my own book shop, and I want to have a writing studio in my book shop.  I look forward to a time when I could figure out whether I could actually do that or not.

[What grade are you in now?]

Seventh.

[Sure you could! Sounds like a nice plan.
