A Fairy TaleAs you all know, my husband is a story teller. He writes books, plays, screenplays, short stories, etc. From the time that my children were very small, he has been "telling" them stories. Creating tales of excitement from the most interesting creatures. Ready Made bed time stories.
This morning, L told her first story. Remember that she is three years old, so this is a bit of a milestone. It also took her about fifteen minutes to get through it...
"Once upon a time," L began.
"That's a great beginning L!" Daddy encouraged
"There was a princess."
At this point M interrupted with "L she needs to be a unicorn."
"M this is L's story, she can have whatever characters in it she wants." I tried to tell M that I really wanted to hear this L's way...
"The princess unicorn had a crown and a pretty dress."
"Are there any bad guys in this story L? I like bad guys." Daddy tried to encourage her to find some sort of conflict.
"The bad guys don't live in the castle. They live in the tunnel. And another princess unicorn who had a pretty dress was trying to get into the castle. So she knocked and knocked and then the door opened. The End."
Short, sweet, and totally adorable. We all clapped at the end, and she walked off feeling very proud of herself. I wonder how long it will take her to tell us story number two. I can't wait.
