Interview with My Third-Grade Teacher, Mrs. Farrell

By PARKER KESTON | Junior Reporter

Hello coffee lovers! I know you are out there. Today I’m interviewing a coffee-loving person who also happens to be my third-grade teacher at Marquez Charter Elementary School, Mrs. Laurie Farrell. I’ll be getting to the bottom of the coffee cup, one sip at a time.

Parker Keston: So Mrs. Farrell, I know you love coffee. What kind do you like and where do you get it from? 

Laurie Farrell: Medium-blend hazelnut flavored coffee from Target.

Keston: Okay, got it. So Mrs. Farrell, what else do you love as much as coffee?  

Farrell: My husband and son. Coffee is in third place.

Keston: Who’s your best friend? Would you say it’s coffee?

Farrell: Yes, but we have issues, like coffee likes to stay up late and I don’t!

Keston: What’s your favorite color? Is it coffee or something else?

Farrell: Probably coffee with a hint of cream.

Keston: Do you eat ice cream? If so, what flavor do you like? I’m guessing it is coffee.

Farrell: I love Baskin-Robbins coffee ice cream.

Keston: Who do you think drinks more coffee, you or my dad? My dad drinks about two cups a day, especially when he’s had a bad night of sleep and has to go to work the next day. 

Farrell: I can drink three cups of coffee on a quiet Sunday morning when third graders are not waiting for me to teach them.

Keston: Exhibit A is a picture of my dad’s favorite coffee mug. Exhibit B is a picture of my favorite. What does your favorite coffee mug look like?

Farrell: Any mug with coffee in it!

Keston: So hardest question: What is your favorite animal? Is this question hard because you can’t say coffee? 

Farrell: It’s not hard because I had a coffee-colored lab named Kona. Some people call them chocolate labs.
