Interview with a 3.9999 year old…

On the eve of Campbell’s birthday, I decided to interview her about life as a 3 year old and expectations of being 4.  The interview didn’t quiet go as I would have liked but nevertheless it’s a true reflection of her personality and what our conversations are like sometimes…

Campbell: Tuesday. Saturday. Wednesday. (note: It will be Sunday)

M: No, I mean what special day is tomorrow?
