Don't Let the Pigeon Do an Interview: 02/21/09
I don't normally conduct interviews. I'm terrible at thinking up questions. I'm more a read the book and write my ideas kind of gal than an interviewer. Anyway, while trying to decide which character to interview, a little bird flapped down onto my patio railing. Pigeon: Did somebody say interview? Me: Oh -- I'm not even sure I'm doing this week's Weekly Geeks. Pigeon: OOOOH. Pick me! Me: Well, I don't know-- Pigeon: Oh come on. I'll answer all your questions. PLEASE! Me: OK. So what's your favorite food? Pigeon: That's easy. HOT DOGS! Me: How did you get here? I thought you lived back east. Pigeon: I drove a bus. But don't tell. OK? I'm not supposed to. Me (looking out of the window nervously): Where'd you park it? Pigeon: Um? Park it? Me (cringing as I hear a fire truck drive by): Does Mo know you're here? Pigeon: Sssssh. Don't tell him! Me: Thank you for stopping by. I think I'll just skip the interview assignment. Pigeon: BUT YOU SAID I COULD HAVE AN INTERVIEW! YOU PROMISED!

Comment #2: Saturday, February 21, 2009 at 16:50:12 Pussreboots Thanks. I had fun. Comment #4: Saturday, February 21, 2009 at 16:52:50 Pussreboots We do too. That's probably why the Pigeon was the first character to pop into my head for this assignment. Comment #6: Saturday, February 21, 2009 at 16:54:00 Pussreboots Now I just have to figure out what to do with that bus. Grin. Comment #8: Saturday, February 21, 2009 at 21:09:43 Pussreboots Thanks! Comment #9: Saturday, February, 21, 2009 at 21:22:07 Ohh, That is so creative. My granddaughter and I love the pigeon books. Our favorite one is about not going to sleep. Comment #10: Saturday, February 21, 2009 at 21:11:34 Pussreboots Don't Let the Pigeon Stay Up Late is a cute one. My personal favorite is The Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog. It's just so much fun to read out loud. Comment #11: Saturday, February, 21, 2009 at 22:40:26 Great job! Thanks for the laugh. I was just trying to think of a children's book character to write about, and I have a Pigeon book sitting on my bed, so your post hit home. That was excellent. :) Comment #12: Saturday, February 21, 2009 at 21:13:43 Pussreboots Thanks! I had fun. Comment #13: Sunday, February, 22, 2009 at 09:27:22 Intelligent pigeon, I must say! Comment #14: Sunday, February 22, 2009 at 20:18:22 Pussreboots For a pigeon, yes. Comment #15: Sunday, February, 22, 2009 at 11:12:06 LOL...has he left yet, or is he still pestering you? Comments #16: Sunday, February 22, 2009 at 20:17:00 Pussreboots It's been pouring rain since last night, so I hope he's still not out there! Comment #18: Sunday, February 22, 2009 at 20:21:34 Pussreboots Thanks! Comment #19: Monday, February, 23, 2009 at 22:33:28 This is too cute. Fancy having Pigeon drop by just when you needed a WG interview! Lucky! Comment #20: Friday, February 27, 2009 at 13:21:22 Pussrboots I had just reviewed The Pigeon Wants a Puppy. Maybe that has something to do with it. Comment #21: Tuesday, February, 24, 2009 at 08:34:36 You promised - and I am glad you did it. Very nice post. This reminds me of a pigeon we came across once. We remember it because - like us - it took the boat to Sweden. What a clever bird :) Comment #22: Friday, February 27, 2009 at 13:25:03 Pussrboots Hopefully the Pigeon didn't drive the boat. Thanks for stopping by. Comment #24: Friday, February 27, 2009 at 13:27:21 Pussrboots Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Comment #25: Sunday, March, 1, 2009 at 08:37:55 I'm not familiar with the Pigeon books, but judging from everyone else's responses, you were spot on in your interview. Good on-the-sly, non-interview interview. Comment #26: Wednesday, March 4, 2009 at 19:53:55 Pussreboots The Pigeon books are by Mo Willems. They are very silly picture books.
