Meet Carrie Ann

"Hi Carrie Ann, I want to thank you today for talking to me and my readers."

"Sure thing."

"What is your full name?"

"Duh! Carrie Ann Rogers." She peeks a look and smile out from under her cap as she readjusts herself in the chair.

"How old are you?"

"10. And you?"

"Im 50."

"God, thats old."

"I'm not quite ancient yet."

"You're getting there though," she giggles.

She reminds me of my granddaughter and her sassy attitude.

"Do you have any brothers or sisters?"

"No. But I would like to have a sister someone I can hang out and play with, but I doubt that will ever happen now." She hangs her head refusing to look in my direction.

"Why Carrie Ann?"

"Cause my Daddy died in a car accident. He got hit by a semi driver." She swipes at her eyes. Obviously his death still hurts. Poor baby.

"I am so sorry Carrie Ann. Are you looking forward to school after summer break?"

"No. I don't want to go to this school."

"Don't you like it here?"

"I like it but I want my old school with my old teachers and friends. I dont know anybody here, except for."

"Except for who Carrie Ann?" I wonder who this secret friend is. 

"Nobody."

"So what do you like to do in your spare time?"

"I like to play with my dolls, explore, color, dance and listen to music and watch cartoons."

"Do you have a favorite Disney princess?"

"Elsa from Frozen." Her eyes shine bright at the mention of this.

"What's your favorite color Carrie Ann?"

"Oh that's easy, Pink," she hollers and throws her arms wide.

She starts to fidget in the chair and I know she wants to go play. She has been a delight to interview and I cant wait to get to know this character better.

"Thank you Carrie Ann for telling me and my readers a little bit about you. You can go play."

"Okay, bye."

She's gone in an instant. She couldn't wait to go play.
