[blparent] Bedtime Stories...

[Veronica Smith]

Quite awhile ago, Gab and I made up a story about a goat named Freddie and
every once in a while she brings him up and we have to add another chapter
to his life.  Well the funny thing came in this evening.  We've been reading
a series of stories I downloaded onto my victor Stream.  A collection of
stories from Don Freeman called Cordoroy and Company.  (by the way, it's
been great) well the last story was about a goat who would get into all
kinds of trouble.  We started laughing and I told Gab, hey, they stole our
story. (lol) V

When my children were young enough to have bed time stories. I would sit in 
the floor in their room and tell them stories such as Jack & the bean stalk.

3 little pigs etc, etc. Once they got a little older we began making up our 
own stories. I remember one imparticular that I made up about a cat getting 
stuck in a tree and the fire department having to come out and rescue him. 
And after awhile I would have them tell them back to me. Hope sense I now 
have another one on the way. I can still remember that story. Or? Perhaps 
I'll have to see how much my older ones retained?
