Interview with a Daughter

Today, Lebkuchen will feature an interview with the Nylund family's oldest child, an 11-year old 6th grader named Micaela. The golden-browned haired tweenie is a bit worn out from a day of playing with friends, but has graciously agreed to sit down with Lebkuchen for a few minutes and answer some questions about home, school and her life in general.
L: What is the best thing about your new house here in Germany?
M: My room. It's bigger than my old one and and so there's more room for my stuffed animals.
C: What is the one thing you would change about your house?
M: I would put carpet in our house.
L: What is the best thing about your school?
M: You have three recesses. When you're waiting for school to open, break which is after the first two periods, about 45 minutes, and then after lunch for another 45 minutes. When you finish lunch, you can go outside whenever you want. You don't need to wait for a teacher to tell you.
L: What is the worst thing about your school?
M: We don't have lockers.
L: What is your favorite class at school?
M: Gym. I don't like the swimming part, but I like the running in the gym.
L: What is the best tasting lunch they serve at the cafeteria?
M: Spaghetti.
L: what do you do during recess?
M: In the morning, I play tetherball. After lunch, I just sit and talk in the cafeteria.
L: Tell me the story of the boy and the Silly Putty.
M: There is this one guy named Markus in my class who has long hair. One day at computing, he brought his Silly Putty. He was playing around with it and he got it stuck in his hair. He tried to pull it out, but it wouldn't come out, so he cut his hair where the Silly Putty was stuck. Then he realized that it could work as a great beard. So he stuck the Silly Putty, which had long hair on it, to his chin. After computing, he pretended he was a goat. (Lebkuchen laughs hysterically.)
L: What is your favorite video on youtube.com?
M: "The Mysterious Ticking Noise" by Potter Puppet Pals. It's funny.
L: If you could go to any restaurant in the world, where would you go and what would you order?
M: I would go to Chik-fil-A and get a chicken sandwich.
LC: What is your favorite book?
M: Umm....Harry Potter.
L: Which one?
