In Carley's Words

This is an interview that I conducted with my 10 year old daughter. We will learn all about her thoughts on things. She was interested in blogging, and wanted one of her own. Since I've decided that she's still a bit young to have her own, then she can take part in mine tonight. Hope you enjoy!

11.  Which one of our friends is the funniest looking? Why? Mia, because she has a flat nose, and she always has her eyebrows scrunched up. It’s funny.
