Interview with Jack, age 3

Jack may have been a bit young for this and it was like pulling teeth to get the answers out of him. Here is the fruit of my efforts (which took place over a few days, one question at a time--and with some bribery). Jack's answers are in blue.

Um, you say ‘lots of animals.'

She likes to go to Target
