20 Birthday Interview Questions for Jed at 14

The youngster is 14. As usual, we sat down for his annual 20 birthday interview questions. A few years back, Jed took the time to interview me on my birthday. Today it’s his turn to sit in the hot seat. It always fascinates me seeing how his answers change (or stay the same) year after year.

If you’ve been following the birthday Q&A series, you can read on to find out what’s new with his music and movie picks and if he’s still wishing for 3 more wishes (spoiler: yup).

For his birthday, I got him a copy of The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole aged 13 and 3/4. It’s mind-boggling to think that not only is he older than Adrian Mole but he’s also older than I was when I first read it. Hope he enjoys it as much as I did (I can’t wait to read it again). Without further ado, here’s Jed’s birthday interview.
