Maya, Tato, and Libbie sat down together recently for Maya's birthday interview.
Tato: So how old are you now Maya?
Maya: I am turning four when it's August 2.
T: That's very exciting! What do you like to do on your birthday?
M: Open my presents and see what they are. I like going to Mom's and Dad's offices because Dad has drinks and food and refrigerators at his office. The food and drinks are in the refrigerators.
Libbie: They are also known as vending machines.
T: What else do you like to do on your birthday?
M: I like to eat butterflies when they die, and when animals die, and when Aaron kills bunnies with his cage but that is not nice. And there are really pokies inside Aaron's cage that kills bunnies and cats.
Libbie: Whaa? [Editor's note: Aaron does not kill animals with his cages.]
T: What do you want for your birthday?
M: (Sing songy voice) I want butterflies in the sky and going to playgrounds on Tato's shoulders because the grass is so pokey.
T: That seems like a very reasonable gift; I'd love to give it! Who are some of your friends at school and at church?
M: Grayson at church, Maddie at school, somebody who even talks like me and his name is Olaf, who is Grayson's brother, Lizzie at school and she is five.
T: What are some of your favorite things to play?
M: At church playing with vacuums; at school that is all purple (and my teacher's name is Ms. West at my other purple school) I like to dance.
