I had an interview today and I totally rocked this question:

Interviewer: How would you explain DNA to an 8 year old?
Me: I would tell them that DNA is like Legos. Like four different colored legos. Individually, they can’t do much, but when you build them in a certain order, you can make different things, like a house or a tree or little lego people. It’s the same in your body. Four different DNA molecules fit together to create the unique you.
Interviewer: *brief pause* That’s a really good answer.
Me: Thank you. I like Legos and science.
