Imagine him tucked into bed, the lights off, his soft classical Bach playing and him mostly (excluding the couple of times he got hay-bale happy) whispering these answers to me. I'm thinking the whispering was something he thought he should do because it was bedtime, but the questions were not whispered when posed to him, so I'm really unsure. But it was cute.
