“If you had to give everything away and were only allowed to keep one thing what would you keep Lila?”
“I would keep my little ponies! Can I keep 2 things? my bed.”
“What do you think you might want to be when you grow up?”
“A princess!”

“If you could have any animal in the whole world for a pet, just one, what would you have?”

“But that’s 3 pets Lila!”.
“Well it’s 4 actually but ok I will just have a bunny….and Max” (her dog).”
“What makes you sad?”
“Hmm when mummy smacks me if I’m really naughty”
“Anything else make you sad?”
“Red Backs and when I got stinged by a bee. He was flying around and he thought I was a flower, and he put a stinger on me and then I got a bandaid. And there’s another thing what makes me cry, when my Dad dies when he gets older and older and older and then he starts dying, cause then I cant see him ever again.”
