fairytales

The trio LOVE fairy tales (especially since visiting Disney- the home of the magical fairy tale)!!! In the past, I have had to create them (not such an easy task) but lately, they have wanted to take turns telling them before bedtime. And tonight's went something like this...

Gabby- Once upon a time... in a far, far away place called "downtown cleveland" lived 26-100-5-67 people!
Marry - oh my goodness gracious
Gabby - hang on, do you want to know how many children there were?
Mary - sure!
Gabby - 100-5-6-7
Mary - that's a lot!
Gabby - and there lived a dragon there....
Mary - will this be scary?
Gabby - no, it was a nice dragon... and a monster!
Mary - oh my!!!
Gabby - but it was a nice monster... and everyone came over to see it. And he asked if we wanted to see magic tricks... and we said yes... so some went inside to watch tv while the rest watched the monster. Do you want to know what they were watching on tv?
Mary & Mateo - yes!
Gabby - football! And basketball, baseball, and even soccer!
Mateo - yes!
Mommy - you mean that all of cleveland was at the monster's house? And some were watching tv while the others watched the monster?
Gabby - yes! Maybe 2 or so... I don't know how many were watching tv...

Gabby - And then Jake (he is a disney character that is on tv) showed up with Izzy (another character) And do you know what Izzy turned into???
Mary - yes?!
Gabby - a princess pirate... and Jake? It's a scary one!
Mary - a sea witch? oh no!!!! (grabs on to me...) It's scary!
Gabby - yes! a sea witch
Mommy - whoa here... there is all of this in downtown Cleveland?
Gabby - no, Jake is far away... in Florida
Mommy - so this is a different story?
Gabby - not really...
Mary - I can't believe it... she is changing stories!

And then I lost track of what happened.... sigh. To many interjections. But I do love the numbering system they are using... it's almost like playing the lottery!
