Samantha and Brooke, the ever-adventurous Let’s Go Mum! kids were delighted to be given the opportunity to interview Velma Dinkley – of Scooby-Doo fame!

Velma is the brains of the Mystery Inc. gang. She is is funny, brave and super smart. Velma asks lots of questions and often uncovers clues in the most unlikely places. Let’s learn about what she’s been up to lately – over to you Samantha and Brooke!

Velma, Scooby-Doo is one of our absolute favourite shows – it’s wonderful to be able to interview you, and we have a stack of questions to ask you!

So Velma, what have you been up to lately? 

Well, funny you should ask. I’ve been hard at work programming a new App, it’s called Spookify and it is used to detect ghosts and other paranormal activity. Well, it will be used for that, I still haven’t ironed out all the bugs, but the initial data I have been downloading indicates there no ghosts in the current vicinity. Actually, maybe its still not working… jinkies! 

How did you get so smart?

Well I do try hard at school, and I enjoy learning new things. Mostly I am just determined decipher the clues and solve the mysteries we come across in a day to day lives. I think maybe I was born this way! 

Is orange your favourite colour?

Of course it is, I have a whole closet full or orange sweaters! I just love it, orange is the best colour because it makes you happy. 

What sports do you like?

Sports? Oh, I was never very good at sports… but did you know Chess is a sport? So there, that would be it – Chess – Chess is my favourite sport. 

Does Scooby-Doo really eat that much?

Between me and you, jeepers, both Scooby and Shaggy eat a lot. They’re always drinking milk shakes or eating Scooby snacks, and when they’re not eating, they’re talking about food. They are food-obsessed! 

We really love cats – do you love cats or just dogs?

I love all creatures great and small, although I do suffer from allergies so some of those really fluffy cats can cause me to sneeze and fog up my glasses, which can be very annoying, especially when I’m looking for clues. But generally, yes, all animals are our furry friends. 

What are you planning to do next?

We’ll were heading down under to visit our friends and help solve an unusual mystery. An all new technology company has hatched an evil plan that could spell out the end of classic video games forever! But don’t panic, the Mystery Inc gang and myself are on the case. 

Have you been to Australia before?

Oh yes many times, we love your country and everyone is so relaxed. We just can’t wait to visit again! 

Hey Velma, are you the greatest mystery-solver in the world?

Well, ahem, I wouldn’t say that. Although my success rate in getting to the bottom of things is pretty high. If only I could get this Spookify App working properly… 

Do you ever get time to relax?

I’m relaxing right now, aren’t I? Unravelling a good mystery is the way that I chill.

Do you have different types of glasses (other than the ones you always wear!)?

These are my preferred spectacles, true, but I do have a number of different glasses for different occasions. Most recently I received a pair of these Boggle Goggles, months before they came out, I just haven’t quite figured out how they work yet. But I’m sure I will in time for my trip to Australia.

 Thank you for your time Velma – it’s been great chatting to you!

Brooke & Samantha!

One on One with Olaf the Snowman

Samantha and Brooke, the ever-adventurous Let’s Go Mum! kids were delighted to be given the opportunity to interview Olaf the Snowman – of Frozen fame! Let’s learn about what he’s up to – over to you Samantha and Brooke!

Olaf, we’ve been huge fans of you since we first saw the Frozen movie! It’s really great to be here in Arendelle getting to meet you. Can you tell us, what is the best thing about being a snowman?

That’s easy: warm hugs. Oh wait, can I change my answer? (Phew) Good. I forgot you said “the best” thing! The BEST thing is having my own personal snow flurry. No. Wait… I take it back; it’s definitely the warm hugs… AND the personal snow flurry! And a detachable head.

And the worst?

I don’t understand the question.

Never mind. Tell us about your amazing orange nose.  Is it made from what I think it is?

Well if you think it’s made from a special magic Troll crystal, then no. It’s a carrot! A very special carrot that apparently reindeer really like to kiss… a lot!

Do you have any brothers or sisters?

You mean like my little brother, Marshmallow? If you do, then yes! Yes I do. Have you met him – ‘cause he likes meeting new people. Not a big hugger though. More like a big roarer and swiper and thrower – He’s really good at it. 

Olaf, what do you like to dream about?

Summer! Definitely summer. I’ve always dreamt about summer and sun and all things hot.

Do you have any hobbies?

Giving warm hugs. Getting warm hugs. Playing with Sven. Sitting in front of a fire… for a very short time. Ice-skating with Anna and Elsa. Watching Kristoff carry around ice. Staring at the sky. You know, the usual kinds of things.

We’re from a place called Sydney –

Bless you.

Thank you. For what?

It sounded like you sneezed.

Oh, no. I said, “Sydney” – it’s a place in a country called Australia.

Oooh, “Aus-tral-eeah”- sounds exotic.

Well it certainly has some of the best beaches in the world.

Beaches? You mean the kind with warm sand?

Those are the ones. Do you think you’d like to visit someday?

Wait. Hold on. Do you think I could come visit someday?

Of course! We can hardly wait to see you there. Thanks for your time, Olaf.
