8 Ws

• Who am I? 

I am Su-Lin Hillier Best, the nine year old daughter of Anthony Best and Ben Hillier.  I'm young, energetic and constantly asking questions. I'm currently being brought up by my two dads in South London, this definitely shaped me into being a more open and accepting person of different lifestyles. I love singing and dancing, especially to cantonese pop music. I have a secret made up language that only I can understand (unless I teach it to you) and I love wearing bright colours. I go to primary school down the road where my favourite lessons are literacy, science and music.

• Where am I? 

I'm in my house's dining room. There's pictures all over the walls of myself, Dad-Ant, Dada Ben and Granny 'Chelle, a few of my drawings and paintings and a big framed mirror. The furniture is quite simple; our family's cacked up old table, wooden chairs and an old fireplace. My toys are strewn all over the floor in a colourful and bright trail from where i've been playing and Granny 'Chelle attempted to tidy up after me. I'm in this room everyday doing all sorts of things; eating, painting and crafts at the table and even dancing. I'm very comfortable in this room and there's many different places I can use for all my games (My favourite is on top of the table). 

• When is it?

It's mid-evening, not too late - otherwise I should be in bed - but around 6 o'clock. It's the end of 2013's summer. 

• Where have I come from? 

I've just come from my bedroom upstairs where I've been playing dress up with Granny 'Chelle's veil. It's very pretty. I ran down the stairs into the dinging room (but left the veil behind). 

• What do I need? 

I am VERY curious. I constantly ask questions about every different thing I can. That's my motivation behind everything I do, I want to discover and explore. Whether it be about Grandpa Gideon's life, Dad-Ant's life or the family table - there will always be a question I want to ask. I love learning new things, 

• Why do I need it? 

As I said, I'm very curious. I need to know the answers to the questions I ask otherwise I'll be left wondering and if I'm left wondering, I'll make up all these big stories in my head to try and understand the question by myself but usually I am very wrong. It's much easier when the adults just answer me.  

• Why do I need it now? 

I need the answers now because Grandpa Gideon has arrived. I didn't know him before and I have SO many questions about him, Dad-Ant and Granny 'Chelle. if i don't answer them, Grandpa Gideon might leave and I would never get to see him ever again. If I never get to see him again, he won't be hear to asnwer all of my SO many questions - which is why I need to ask questions NOW. Plus I want to teach him my favourite Cantopop song.
