Well, that was fun! When we were done, Elise asked if I had anymore questions for her. I think she enjoyed being interviewed. I think it would be fun to revisit this meme every year, just to see how her answers change.

  5. There were a few answers that were my favorite...Definitely the "Tiger" when she grows up...and the scared of "monsters and gorillas" was quite insightful.
