A Little Boy Story: by Bennett

Here is a Little Boy story straight from Bennett as accurately as I can remember it. We told these during what was supposed to be nap time. It is important to note here, that anytime you see words in ( ) that is me speaking, and anytime you see Bennett quoting "Mommy," in his story, it is in a very deep, man-like voice.

Once upon a time there was a little boy named (Mommy). And Mommy had a friend named (Bennett). And one day...oh! Wait, I can't tell you that story yet because it's not nighttime yet. See? See the sun is still up outside? You have to wait until the moon is up, and then I can tell you that story. It was a train story, but you can't hear it yet. It is still too daytime. Sorry Mommy.

(OK, so can I hear a different story instead?)

OK. Once upon a time there was a little boy named (Bennett) NO Mommy! The little boy was named Mommy! (Oh sorry. A little boy named Mommy. And...) and Mommy had a friend named (Bennett). And Mommy told Bennett "Bennett, it's time for nap time." So Bennett ran and ran into his bed. And Mommy said, "If you stay in bed, I will give you a surprise when you wake up." But Bennett didn't want to. So Bennett played with his color blocks. And then Mommy came back and said, "Bennett! What you doing? You better get in bed right now!" And Bennett went, "WAAAAAA!" and ran and ran back to his bed. But when Mommy came back what did she see? Bennett got out of bed again and played with his blocks. Bennett was making a bad choice. So Mommy said, "Now you can't have your surprise." The end.

(Wow. That is sort of a sad ending.)

OK. But then Mommy and Bennett played and played with the color blocks. And Bennett was so happy. And Mommy was so happy. The end.

(OK. Good story. That Mommy sounds mean.)

Ya.

Can you tell what happened at our house today?
(And by the way, Mommy was actually very nice, all things considered.)
