The Interview

Yesterday I was sweating an interview. Newspaper came out to interview my family. I was a little worried about 14, because he is unimpressed by the media – in fact he finds it quite distasteful my job included – and he has no edit button.

Yet again I was worried about the wrong thing.

14 was funny. Clearly the edit button was not an issue. Boy was practically on MUTE.

Reporter: So what’s it like having a mom that’s on TV?
14: I don’t think about it.
Reporter: What do your friends think?
14: Don’t know.
Reporter: What’s she like at home?
14: (shoulder shrug)
Reporter: Well, is she like she is on TV?
14: I don’t watch the show.
Reporter: This is killing you, isn’t it?
14: Yep.
