Jenny loves to do these, and her answers are always great.
Q - Would you rather hang out with older or younger kids?
Jenny - Probably older because they're popular and they can teach me popular stuff so when I grow up I can be popular.
Q - Which school subjects do you think will be useful and which will be useless?
Jenny - Probably science because if I was a scientist - I don't want to be a scientist because you have to focus really hard. I pick science because I think it's cool. It's cool because you get to take different stuff and mix it all together. It's kind of like you're cooking.
Q - Would you rather be a wealthy movie star or a poor scientist who cures cancer?
Jenny - I don't want to be a scientist who cures cancer because then if you work there and look around you might see other people who have that and are about to die and I don't want to see people die. But if you're a pop star and you're rich, you would make a lot of money.
Lee - But what if you got cancer then?
Jenny - I don't care.
Jenny auditioned for this year's school musical today. She's going for a speaking part this year. She was very nervous and was hoping to get some advice from Uncle Justin and Nicole, but she made it through. They said that every kid who tries out will have some kind of part, but we'll find out what she gets next week. She's very excited now that she made it through the audition - she's hoping to be a chick.
Lee' still trying to convince Jenny that it would be better to be a scientist who cures cancer than a wealthy movie star.

A wealthy movie star can help fund the scientist's research.
A wealthy movie star could also be in a movie about curing cancer, which would probably win an Oscar.
If it starred Jenny!
i didn't realize she wanted advice on her audition! i guess i didn't understand everything she said, otherwise i would have called her back immediately. does she still want to talk? katie, should i call her?
She made it through the audition fine - she was just nervous leading up to it. I'm sure she'd love to tell you about it if you have time to call at some point though. She finds out next week what part she got, but they didn't truly audition for particular parts, and every child who auditions gets some kind of part, so it's not exactly stressful (to me). The hardest part for me will be the fact that parents are responsible for costumes!
I would rather have a rich movie star niece than a cancer-curing scientist niece.
But what about a cancer-curing scientist that wins oscars on the weekends? She could blaze that trail.
Oh, auditions. Next time around I'll be ready with advice. But I bet she knocked it out.
