Interview with C

The youngest child in the P Four family, C starts our interview by asking "What we doing here?" He's a blanket-toting, thumb-sucking version of Dennis the Menace. Last year, we couldn't have even had this conversation. He's a late talker, and has come a long, long way. So, here's our conversation.
