Me: Hi B!
B: Hi.
Me: Tell me about yourself.
B: I'm 6 years old. And, um... [Long pause] I like pizza. Are you doing this for school or what?
Me: No, for my blog.
B: You are HILARIOUS.
Me: What do you wanna be when you grow up?
B: A doctor.
Me: Why?
B: Doctors get rich.
Me: Do you not care about helping people?
B: Well, I'd help people, and get a lot of money for my family.
Me: What else shall I ask you?
B: What food do I like? What drinks?
Me: Okay, B. What food and drink do you like?
B: Okay, I'll do drinks first. I like water. I like Vimto. And... I'm just gonna choose 3. I like... Apple juice.
Me: What about food?
B: My favourite foods are... pizza, macaroni and lasagne.
Me: Thanks, B. Do you wanna say anything else before we go?
B: [Thinks] Umm... No. All I like doing is playing X-Box, that's it.
Ahh. The youth these days. 6 years old, and already influenced by technology.

What I would tell a 7 year old me
Dear 7 year old me,
Hey there! I'm from the future. Yes, really. Don't freak out, it's okay. I'm here to give you some advice that I hope will help you.
1) Make an attempt to learn your mother tongue. Arabic is a beautiful language, and you won't really know it in 10 years time unless you do.
2) Pester Mum and Dad to get you piano lessons. Or guitar lessons, so 10 years from now, you'll be a master at said instrument.
3) Enjoy life. Keep dressing up in cute princess dresses and dancing around the house in the middle of the night (which is probably around 10pm...) You're only young once, mini me.
4) Stop trying so hard to get people to like you. You're amazing just as you are. Don't change for anyone.
With love,
You, in 10 years time

Fact Of Life #1: Ultimate mind block
Whenever someone asks you to say three facts about yourself - on the first day of school or a new job, etc - it's harder than you imagine. Your mind just goes totally blank, as you think, "Who am I? What is my life?" You cannot remember anything about yourself, never mind anything remotely interesting.
Normally results in momentary embarrassment, which subsides after a few minutes of red cheeked self-annoyance. Which is usually when you think of something you could have said.
