Cheeky monkey! Well, you tried, Stu. But not hard enough. Here are some tips on “Getting a Child to Answer a Boring Grown-up’s Question”:

1. Always choose the time of the day when the child will be the most alert and attentive. Usually, this is the forty-five seconds following breakfast.

2. Try to phrase your question in order to make it sound like the kind of thing a child would like to comment on. eg. “Aydin, do you think there’ll be lots of McDonald’s restaurants in Australia?”

3. Ensure that distractions are kept to a minimum during questioning. Remove all interesting objects and dancing wives from the vicinity.

4. Try bribery. “Aydin, I will let you pick my nose if you will answer my question for the camera.”

5. If all else fails, tie the child to a chair and use the soft cushions to extract an answer.

Ok?

I think you have a highly-qualified politician in the making there with that question avoidance!

Reporter: “Mr Rudd, how is your new hospital take-over plan actually going to make a difference?”

Mr Rudd: “Ooohhh eeewwwww Arhhhhjjj Blinding light…. eewwww zzzzzz… I killed a man… zzzz iiiiiit… with a trident… hhmmmm zzzuuuuhhhh…. (does some dancing) jjjiiiiiiihhh!”

Reporter: “Mmm.. I’ve been meaning to talk to you about that… you should probably lay low for a while”

Mr Rudd: “0000001 00000011 00000111″
