Bedtime Stories

I'm lazy. Tonight when I put the kids to bed, not wanting to round up books or make my brain work at all, I flopped down on Isaac's air mattress and said with a sigh, "Ahhhhh, why don't you tell me a story tonight?". . .
After 45 exhausting minutes of one wacky story after another, I finally slinked out of the room. There were, however, a few gems that I just have to "document": (unfortunately these are not exactly word-for-word. But they're as close as I can remember)

The Story of the Girl Who Could Turn Into a Car and a Banana Tree

By Isaac

Once upon a time there was a girl named Dickerdock who could turn into a car and a banana tree. So one day he turned into a car and then he turned into a banana tree. The end.
(That's not a typo. Isaac calls everyone a he - a side effect of growing up with all brothers)

The Story of the Big Frog in the Forest
By Clayton

Once upon a time, when I was five, I went for an adventure in the forest. Suddenly I came to two paths. One path had a big frog that was about to eat me and the other path went home. So I went that way. Suddenly a fairy came and gave me two wishes. So I wished for a ride on a real toy train and I also wished that I would be brave enough to eat everything Isaac eats. Suddenly I heard a boom! boom! boom! It was the big frog coming to eat me! I didn't have any more wishes so I ran home and locked the door. But the big frog just crushed the door and gobbled me up. The end.

(yep, folks. That's really the end. Clayton likes to tell it how it is)
