An interview with someone who makes me feel old

Today’s super wonderful and informative interview features my youngest brother, Andy. He’s 14 12 16. I think? He’s a teenager. He was born when I was a senior in high school, and now he is nearly a senior in high school. Golly. He was around 6 or 7 when Rockford and I got married and moved away, which I’m pretty sure is why he’ll always look like this in my head:

But he doesn’t look like that anymore (even though he’s still the same height; bazinga!). Now he looks quite a bit more like this:

To the best of my knowledge, Andy has never appeared on "Dancing with the Stars."

I’m glad Andy was one of the first 8 people on my Facebook list when I decided to do these interviews. I don’t really know him all that well, so it was nice to get some insight into his life.

Who would star as you in the movie of your life?

Sean Connery.

Hm, that was also my answer. And it’s the wrong answer in his case, because Tom Chaplin is clearly Andy’s doppelganger.

What was the last book you read? Was it worth reading?

Warriors: Firestar’s Quest.” Best book I’ve read in a long time. Only downside is you will be completely lost unless you read the first 5 “Warriors” books. Gripping storyline; hard to put down. If you’re interested, the first book is titled “Into The Woods.” Did I mention it’s from the perspective of cats?

My first thought was, naturally, “warriors come out to play-ai-ai.” But then I looked up the plot, and OK I’ve read weirder stuff. I might give it a shot. But I sincerely hope that Andy has read “The Hunger Games” series. I hope you have, too. In fact, you should stop reading this and go read that right now.

If you had enough money to retire right now, would you?

Probably not. Everyone could use a bit more, and why sit at home when you can be doing something productive outside?
Do you believe in ghosts? Why or why not?

Yes, with a passion. Trust me, watch “Ghost Hunters” and “Destination Truth” as often as I do, and you will believe.
If you were a superhero, what would your super power be?

Shapeshifting. So Many Pranks, so many times. Besides, who needs to fly? I’m a bird. Super strength? Gorilla. Super speed? Jaguar. The car, not the animal.

Andrew, you are not giving the jaguar its due. Jaguars can swim faster than you, and they can crush a turtle in their wicked strong jaws. Respect.
