Elliot is going to be a comedian. Love this post. Really wanted to interview kids for my dissertation, but the IRB approval would have been too complicated for my timeline. It's in the cards for the future!
ReplyDeleteThat might really be his calling. He is hilarious. Kids would have made a very intriguing element in your dissertation! Keep me posted on the future interviews.
