Story Time

Just like all good parents, we enjoy reading books to LE before she goes to bed.  Lately, Ba has started telling her stories.  Now LE likes those stories best.  Tonight I gave LE the chance to tell her own story about when “she was little.”  After being asked, LE said she wanted to tell a story about “going shopping for clothes with mommy.”  The audio is pretty funny, but super hard to understand, so I just typed it out.  Spoiler alert: the following story only briefly mentions shopping, and nothing about clothes…

Ellie: So when I was little...  Once upon a time, we wanted to go, so we drove in your car, Sarah-car. And we met our friends. Shane and great.  And we met them, and we didn’t know their mommies name.  So we asked her and she said “yes”.  And then my mommy asked her, and she said Goah.

Ry: What was the other mommies name again?”

Ellie: Goah. Then it was raining, on top of the store roof, and we got a cart.  And we drove, and there were two seats.  So BayK stand on it with me, she is a girl. And she sit next to me, we were best friends.  And then it starts raining, and snowing.  It was doing both.  We couldn’t get out.  There was snow on the ground, and snow on the roof, and snow on the ground, and snow on the road.  We couldn’t get out.  We were stuck.  We were stuck when we drived.  And then it stopped snowing.  So we drove to our home.  And then we heard a noise.  KohKeh.  What was that?  It was the monster.  It was a nice monster, not a mean one.  It was lots of monsters.  Some were nice and some were mean. 

Ry: Did you have a party with the monsters?

Ellie: No, they played with us.  We didn’t have lots of car seats.  So we took Shaner out, and put him in the back.  And our friend, she had two car seats.  They had lots of car seats.  We had one in the front.  Sit right here.  The monster said lets sit.  DomDom.  And then, that was my mommas watch, the ding ding.  Oh, my momma said.  Until it was raining and snowing.  So we drove fast, and got home.  And we went inside our home.  And then, it rained on top of our roof, and it rained outside.  It was still raining.  Shaner cried.  Me and Shaner cried.

Ry: So you cried because of the rain, and not the monsters

Ellie: No, the monsters were sleeping with me.  The monsters were not crying.  I didn’t cry, the monsters didn’t cry.  Shaner cried.  They were little bitty tiny baby monsters.  There are big ones and little ones.  They wanted to sleep with me.  Can you hold them?  Be careful with them.
