Ask Rufus (Maria & Scott's 7-year-old)

Rufus, am I making a mistake in pursuing professor-type girls?

rufus, is it cool having your birthday so close to christmas or do you wish they were farther apart in the year?

rufus- you can have one superpower, what would it be and what would you do w/ it?

Rufus, my son is 4. If you could go back to age 4 and do one thing differently, what would it be?

Rufus, I like TV sometimes. What shows do you like to watch with your whole family and what do you like to watch if they're not around?

uhhh just realized i pulled an lj re: display name

my parents are mostly emberresing.no you are not wrong persueing perfesser type girls.and its sweet having my b day so close to cristmas.if I had a superpower it would be hotdog vison.i'd use it to make hotdogs.I used to have a show when I was 4 and I only made 1 episode and i wish I could change how boring it was.sometimes I like to watch the simpsons with my family.somtimes I like to watch spongebob alone.

I relate to you.

"it would be hotdog vison.i'd use it to make hotdogs"

great answer!

Rufus, I'll pass your advice on to my son, thanks!

Rufus,

Do you follow soccer? I can resommend an up and coming team in the English Premier Division if you're interested.

Rufus, what is your favorite thing to do on a computer?

rufus, i would like to hear more about what makes having a birthday near christmas so sweet! i also have a birthday near christmas, and have found it to be quite a hassle.

thanks,
t

p.s. is the 1 episode of your 4-year old show available on the internet?

rufus, fries or chips? this is not a trick question

Rufus, hello, it's me again. What is the worst music your mom and dad have ever played to you?

rufus, do you consider yourself a bunnybrains fan?

Hi Rufus. Your mom & dad seem quite cool to me, but you said that they're mostly embarrassing. So:

1. What do they do that is so embarrassing?
2. What could they do to make them more cool?
3. Would you like it if they were more cool, or do you think that maybe parents should be a bit embarrassing?

Sorry to ask so many questions, but this is quite important to me!

I have never taken soccer classes and I dont want to.my fave thing to do on the computer is what im doing right now.well its obveous that to any kid it would be sweet to have a b day so close to xmas because its preasants golore p.s. im not really 7 already. im not really shure if my 4 year old show is on the internet. i purfur chips. kiss has to be the worst music ever.and im a bunnybrains fan.1 what they do they do thats so embarrassing has to be when they wash my face.2 they could buy more toys .3 I wish they were cooler.

marvin the ostrich go boom boom!

i think the problem with hotdog vision would be if you looked at something too close you might get a hotdog in your eye which would suck. otherwise this is a great superpower. also good would be flying or home ownership.

what is your favorite sponge bob? do you like the one with the nasty patty? that one always cracks me up. also where the flying dutchman says poop loop.

Hi(5) Rufus

It seems to me that grown-ups are scared of pretty much everything. Are you scared of anything and if so what and if so why?

Yours,

Nick

ive never read the bfg.my fave spongbob is when spongebob has a pet jellyfish and he's potty trained.i'm scared of cars when they pass by my window when i'm sleeping.

rufus have you ever seen bugsy malone? it's a movie about gangsters, but everybody in it is a kid. they pedal their cars and all the guns shoot cream pies. plus there is singing and dancing.

...and that chick from Taxi Driver

and chachi

i'm scared of cars when they pass by my window when i'm sleeping.

I was, too, when I was your age, but it was seeing the light from the headlights go though the windows and show up on the wall.

Hi Rufus, do you like Star Wars? If so, which films do you prefer, the old ones with Luke or the new ones with Anakin?

kiss has to be the worst music ever

otm

Hey Rufus, do you have any pets? If not, what kind of pet do you wish you had, if any?

i've never seen bugsy malone.i kinda like star wars i perfur the old movies with luke.iv'e got a frog for a pet.

poem for school:

Home
I am from the place where loud music fills rooms,
Where science fiction litters tables and shelves,
And raggedy, not-so-stuffed animals comfort even those who shall not pass.
I am from the driveway that I would bike down for hours,
From the baby blue porch, the paint peeling like old wallpaper,
And the miniature ravine behind our house, a new adventure every time.
I am from the neglected planters - filled with mint and basil,
From the small tree to which our dog was chained,
And the ever-expanding grapevine jungle, knotted with weeds and thorns.
I am from my great grandmother Hope’s kindness and wisdom,
From my uncle Jason’s constant joking,
And my aunt Robin’s insightful nature.
I am from “many hands make light work,”
From “a watched pot never boils,”
And “never look a gift horse in the mouth.”
I am from frothy banana smoothies, a “banana blend,” if you will,
From my dad’s vegetable pasta bake, where seconds are expected,
And a genuine Philly cheese steak from my birthplace.
I am from the rustic Green Cabin, and fashioning seaweed wigs,
From Cedar Tree Neck, the trees twisted and inviting,
And the Girl’s Club on the corner, where making lines was almost fun.
I am from raucous Yankee Swaps, fighting over a cashmere scarf,
From fast-paced Easter egg hunts with family and friends,
And the warm Thanksgivings that I hid from, playing Mario Brothers.
I am from the Seat of the Synod, source of vedalken arcana,
From the Temple Garden, and Godless Shrine,
And the Glimmervoid, where an empty canvas holds infinite possibilities.
I am from the chime of a piano, and practicing faster than I should,
From the aroma of garlic bread, fresh out of the oven,
And the din of heavy metal, through my dad’s gargantuan speakers.
I am from the place where loose nails line the treacherous attic floor,
Where memories are as cluttered as the closets that hold them,
And where a disheveled home is just as warm.

rufus, however, is not here to answer questions. he's 12 now, much too busy.

14 today! big dude. 9th birthday pic and then today.
