Most nights, after tucking BOY & GIRL in bed, I tell them a story as we sit together in the dark. It is a time when the imagination can wander. Lately, as I edge out the door...tired beyond reason, BOY has started his own ritual, his own story telling.
Mommy, Mommy, wait.... I have to tell you SOMETHING.
What do you have to tell me BOY?
A long, long, long time ago I went to a store and I ate all the food and all the people.
All the people?
Yeah.
... WOW, you must have been full.
I ate them ALL, had a BIG BURP and they flew out.

At least in the end the people survived! LOL!
ReplyDeleteSo cute. I thought he was going to say he had a "Big Gulp" - like at 7-11 - to swallow them all down. So glad they came back out. See you soon. Kellan
ReplyDeleteImagination - it IS a powerful thing.
ReplyDeleteMe thinks BOY is a genius AND a comedian!
That's one powerful burp!
ReplyDeleteI think the boy is going to be a novelist! Perhaps magical realism? My nephew was like that--he told funny little stories. He just passed the bar. But I'm still hoping for a novel somewhere down the road.
ReplyDeleteMary Margaret always requires her Daddy to make up a story about her day. Then the next day she tells the story to her animals. Gotta love those imaginations!
ReplyDeleteWell I was hoping for an exciting finish and I got one. Ha.
ReplyDeleteDid they wave and say thank you?
ReplyDeleteplease go get the book "Fidgety Fish" immediately if your household likes burps.
ReplyDeleteLOL He sounds a lot like my son!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweetie.
Sound like he may have been reading "There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly." If not, get it for him. I think he'll like the end.
ReplyDeleteHi, I collect baby boomers' blogs. Wanna trade links?
