Interviewer: Hi Charlie, can you tell us a bit about yourself? Charlie: Shifts nervously on the spot, looking down at her feet Umm...I-I'm 9 years old and I like drawing pictures. I also have a best friend named Scotty who comes over to play sometimes at my house. We usually watch cartoons and snuggle up under blankets when watching them. Oh! And I love ice cream. chocolate flavour is my favourite!

Interviewer: Do you live alone with Scottie by chance? Charlie: No, there are grownups at home too – mum, dad, and an older sister. But I mostly hang out in my room. It’s filled with toys and stuffed animals which are my favorite things. You know, for cuddling when I'm feeling scared or lonely.

Interviewer: What scares you the most? Charlie: Well... I guess it's darkness. We have flashlights, but sometimes when there's a power cut, everything becomes pitch dark. That's scary because I can't see anything and imagine lots of bad things happening. So Scotty always makes sure to bring extra batteries for our flashlights while sleeping over at my place during those times.

Interviewer: How was your latest sleepover with your friends? Did everyone behave nicely? Charlie: Mmhmm.. It was fun! We watched movies, talked a lot and played hide-and-seek until late night. All my friends were nice, but I must say, spending most of the time playing with Scotty was super duper amazing. He told me stories and let me snuggle against his chest whenever I felt tired. Plus, he gave me a goodnight kiss before going to bed. Feeling his lips brushing against mine made me all warm and fuzzy inside. I hope he'll come over again soon for another sleepover at my place. Maybe this time, I can fall asleep in his arms if it's okay with him!
