Words: Sóley Hulda Nielsen Viðarsdóttir & Borghildur Lukka Kolbeinsdóttir
While The Haul typically gives readers a glimpse into our dream shopping bag in each issue, it turns out a pair of eight-year-olds are less consumerist than the adult members of the Grapevine’s editorial team. Here’s what they would do if money were no object … and a few things we’d spend our krónur on.
Sóley & Borghildur: We’d give half of the money to children who live in poverty and don’t have parents and are homeless. Then we’d buy a ship and a spaceship to go and pick all the space trash and sea trash in the world.
Borghildur: I’d hire 555 servants!
Sóley: Forget what I said before. I would take a net and save the fish from dying from eating plastic. Also, I’d move into Borghildur’s apartment building and hire a man to teach me to draw really amazing drawings!
The Grapevine: We’d buy some cool stuff for ourselves and our friends.
