Alexa: Hi Olivia! So in your brother’s interview he tells me you have nightmares of the bad guys in Minecraft, is this true?
Olivia: Yes.
Jacob: —She once had to sleep in my room!
Alexa: So tell us, what kind of games do you enjoy playing?
Olivia: I like to play dress-up games and adventure games.
Alexa: Which platform do you enjoy playing on?
Olivia: On the iPad.
Alexa: Why?
Olivia: Because it is bigger than the iPod touch and the experience is better because you can use your fingers to move things around easier.
Alexa: What’s your favorite game?
Olivia: My favorite game is a dress-up game. So you put—it’s like a spa game!
Alexa: What’s it called?
Olivia: It’s called High School Makeover.
Alexa: What do you like about the game?
Olivia: I like that you get to pick a girl you like and dress her up any way you want.
Alexa: So, tell us about the picture you took.
Olivia: This is a picture of the girl I chose with stuff on her face—I don’t know what it’s called.
Alexa: What’s your favorite thing to do in the game?
Olivia: I like how you can choose the color of what you want to put on her face and how you get to choose the color of her hair.
Alexa: If you can choose something to change or improve in the game, what would it be?
Olivia: That you can put cucumbers on their eyes and stuff like that. I would also like there to be a Princess version of the game.
Alexa: So, what’s the other picture you have here for us?
Olivia: This is one of my characters. She is all done getting dressed and getting her makeup done. She looks really pretty.
Alexa: Yes, she does!
