Eight days away from the conclusion of her 2016 presidential campaign, Hillary Clinton takes on her toughest interviewers yet: American kids.

The Democratic nominee sat down for People to answer a group of tough questions from adorable kids, age 7 and under, like: "I'm funny, are you?"

Clinton joyfully exclaimed "These are the cutest kids," as she went through responding to each of the video-submitted questions.

While most of their inquiries weren't exactly the usual for the campaign, the future political pundits did get Clinton talking about some very personal stuff, like her lack of TV time on the campaign trail and her bedtime.

The presidential candidate managed to get one policy point in, however: gun control. When asked the first thing she’ll do after her inauguration, Clinton replied “I think the first thing I would do as president is to try to make sure that we are keeping the world safe and we are going to be able to protect people, especially children like you.”

She went on to explain, “I’m also going to try to get guns out of the hands of people who should not have them because I’m really sad that so many people get killed or hurt by guns.”
