My 4 year old told me a story tonight which I've typed up. It's cute. I thought I'd share it here with you..


The Apple and the Orange

Once upon a time there was an apple. It was sick and sick all day long. Then there came the orange, the apple�s friend. The orange is eating with the apple so the apple is not sick anymore. It drank some rice milk and water and some medicine.

Then there was a farm animal coming. It was a cow. The cow said, MOOO MOOO because it�s suppose to. He saw their tree and house. Then the cow touched the apple because (he loves the orange). Then there were more animals, a horse and a sheep. They hugged each other because they kiss and love each other.

Then there was another animal and he was a bear. The bear went ROAR! and knocked the house down. The apple and the orange came out of the house and went to somebody�s nice house.

Then there came people coming on a cow, horse and sheep. They got a ride from them to McDonald�s. They eat dinner all day long because they love the farm animals to eat with them. They eat french fries and chicken. (The chicken is for the farm animals.)

Then there was a mean owl who take the bear away from the apple�s house. The bear and the owl had to fix the house. The farmer is going to fix the house with the owl and the bear too. He put the laundry house in, the door, the window and the phone and computer. Everything. Then they all finished. The orange and the apple is going to stay there for so so long.

The End

Thanks for sharing! I read it to Braeden as I read the story. He gave it applause and "WOW" at the end.

Awww, thanks Blindsky! Here's another short story my son wrote tonight. (I thought we could start a new trend here)..

No More Monsters

Once upon a time there was a police car. There was a lady and a man walking by to the bad guy and they took the bad guy away to jail. He went to jail because he said, �Stupid, stupid, stupid!� to peoples.

Then there was an ambulance coming and the lady cut the monster off of her body and head and that was so so funny. It was so funny because the lady step on him and step on him (because she feel like it). The people say �YEAH! No more monsters!�

Then there was another monster coming so the firetruck man took the other monster and put him on the firetruck. He just sit there and sit there for so long and he doesn�t do anything. The firetruck drives to the mean people and the mean people put him in a mean bed with a happy face on it. The monster put his hand on the happy face and he was mad because the mean people were still there when he had to say sorry to the fire truck man.

Then there was three more monsters and so the fire car come and put them in jail because they like to help the people. Now they are all happy because there are no more monsters in the house.

The End

Braeden likes the stories! This one got a big smile and a laugh! Thanks! I can always use 30 seconds where my Son pays attention to 1 thing!

heheh You should get him to write one too.

LOL...IT'd be a short one! He doesn't have very many words yet

Hi,my name is Amy.I am seven and 1/2. My little brother Joel is a scardy-cat because he's afraid of monsters.I am not as scard as he is and he's six years old.I like to write stories, too.
At school we have this writer's workshop and I wrote two.One was called The Story Of The Big Huge Snow Blizzard and the other one was Birthday's For People In My Family. The story with the snow blizzard,I put red for the cover and the one with the birthdays,I put pink for the cover.I like to write alot.That's why I wrote so much this time.

This is Dad now, and yep she wrote that while I was getting the other 2 ready for bed. (She just started school this year.)

Multi tasking?

My son wrote this one in computer class.

Who said it was winter?

The water did when it froze.
The fire did when it warmed me up!
Jesus did when it was his birthday.
A snow flake did when it fell.
Giving did when it made people happy.
God did when he was happy.
The cold did when it made me cold!
The mistletoe did when it hung over Julie.
The candy canes did when I ate them.

I know it is not a story but I liked it. I hope you did too. This can be a really cool new trend. Thanks Jes.

Awwwww, very nice! Thanks for sharing.

This is the dad, the numbers in parentheses are page numbers. She typed it in herself. Sorry you don't get to see her drawings.

Once upon a time there was a long neck dinosaur. He was playing with 4 dinosaurs with their toys that they like. The dinosaurs was in the daycare and was being nice there. Then there was T-Rex and the blue long neck dinosaur come closer and come closer and bite T-Rex. T-Rex run away and his tummy went ouchy because he run pretty fast and he fell. He went WAHH WAHH. Then there was 2 more dinosaurs and they helped the dinosaurs that fell down. He was happy because they helped him. Then they love each other after that.

The End

Quote: "WWWWOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW, Did it!" Add a big smile and clapping hands. Oh, and I can't hear out of my left ear. Braeden is a big fan.
Sierra liked it as well, wants to hear another. You guys are so lucky to have kids who still tell you stories.

heheh That's sooo cute! I'll see what I can do.

The Blue Drums

Once upon a time, there was blue drums. People took it home, all of them. They played with it for so long until it was bedtime. They went to sleep and listened to the man who come to their house to take all the drums away except two drums. He took them back to the store so more friends can take more.

The next day there was no more people anywhere. They were hiding under the drums waiting. Then the mom and dad come and took out the people from the drum. Everybody was happy because they got to play with the big drum.
