Very Silly Interviews

Way back in "aught nine", I interviewed my TWO kids about their mom. It was pretty hysterical! I ran across it several weeks ago and am finally getting around to interviewing Selah. This has been quite an experience, I'll tell you that! Be very thankful that I've edited out a good bit of her commentary and random, rambling stories. I then re-interviewed Joe, just for laughs.
