Description
Some of the most precious videos I own are of my parents sitting me down as a child and interviewing me about my life, and so many of you have told me you wish your parents had saved footage like that of you. That’s how I found myself bribing my almost five-year-old with a muffin and plopping him in front of a podcast mic this summer. I fully expected to walk away with nothing usable. Dear Media had set up a pop-up studio at LDV at The Maidstone Hotel, so we played hooky from camp, and I asked him about being a kid.
What I got instead was a FULL golf lesson. Milo walked me through every club he owns, explained that the lower the number of the iron, the farther the ball goes, told me the driver is for the very beginning, and corrected himself when he got something wrong. Honestly, this kid has taught me a lot about golf. He also insisted, with complete confidence, that I was NOT with him on a nine-hole course (I was!!). And he kept interrupting to ask if it was time to sing yet, which is how we ended up doing a Les Misérables duet of Do You Hear the People Sing, since he’d just seen the show with Didi and Poppy. Along the way, I had him name dinosaurs as fast as he could, asked about his little sister, found out he no longer wants to be a paleontologist, and ended by asking if he’s having a nice life, which got a yes.
I sat down to edit this on a hard day. That morning he hadn’t been listening, he’d been struggling to share with his sister, and I was frustrated. Then I watched this footage and saw how LITTLE he still is. Michael and I are deep in the toddler years with a two-year-old and an almost five-year-old, and most nights we exhale and can’t believe we made it through the day. This episode is my reminder that a season can be exhausting and adorable at the same time.
If you have little ones at home, film one interview of your own and watch it back at a time of day when you’re not trying to get everyone out the door. You are living in the good old days right now!
