October 31, 2003: An exclusive interview with Ms. Veronika

For the first time she decided to share intimate details of her life with me and we are happy to print the conversation here for you:

Mama: Veronika, everybody wants to know how you maintain this great body of yours! Although rumor has it you constantly gain weight plus you snack during the night several times! How do you do it?

Ms.V: My secret is flavored breastmilk. I love it. It's the best protein drink out there! About the gaining... I don't know what you are talking about! I look my best every day!

Mama: Oh of course. What about beauty sleep, is that essential to your lifestyle?

Ms.V: Weeeelll... I do sleep about 12 hours every night, but it has been suggested to me I should nap as well. I don't really see the point of that. I prefer to lie down for a snack, sleep for 20 minutes and then fuss. Fussing is big on my list.

Mama: Really? Is there anything else you like to do?

Ms.V: Oh I have lots of hobbies.

Mama: What are those?

Ms. V: Well, I have several spots in my house I like to hang out, a vibrating chair, a swing, they all have lots of colors and make sounds now and then. I'm totally into colors right now. I also have a playmat with toys hanging above me. It's cool to look at but I'm not really sure what else to do there. I recently got a high chair and I'm currently trying it out for entertainment value. Can't say I'm really happy with it yet. I DO love my changing table though. That's the best fun you can get. Turn on some music, talk... you know.

Mama: Wow, sounds like you are really busy.

Ms.V: Yeah, I'm usually exhausted at night.

Mama: I can imagine. What do you do to relax?

Ms.V: I take a bath. It's great! Very relaxing plus it cleans my neck.

Mama: How about your social life?

Ms.V: It's pretty good. I get out a lot. I go shopping or take the dog for a walk. Every week I go to the Moms' group and entertain the ladies. It's really easy.
I also meet up with my friend Elizabeth. She's pretty cool. We hang out on her playmat or dress up as pumpkins. We have a lot of fun.

Mama: Thank you so much for your time. I really appreciate it.
