Happily Ever After
Emma has this box set of Disney Princess stories that she got for her birthday last September. Every night she begs me to read them and every night I groan, "No! Not the princess ones, Em. There is no such thing as happily ever after. Seriously. These books drive Mommy bonkers. Pick another." And she retorts, "Yes, there is, Mommy. Don't say that." And she looks at me with her big, blue pleading eyes and suckers me in every time.
This morning Em started telling me stories, so I started frantically writting them down. You can clearly see the influence of these books on her story telling. I'm going to share them because they make me laugh. I could barely write fast enough with her purple marker to keep up, I was giggling so hard.
1. Once upon a time there was a beautiful princess named Princess Fiona. she loved her little kitty. One day she couldn't find her kitty anywhere. One day she had a puppy. One day her mom found the kitty and she loved it. There was a prince. One day the prince was going to marry a girl named Princess Fiona. The prince would like to marry that girl. The princess said, "Yes!" THE END.
2. One day there was a beautiful maid named Cinderella. She was a beautiful maid. She would like to marry a prince. She had a kitty named Areah. One day the evil step sisters tore Cinderella's gown to shreds. One evening everyone went to the ball together. the prince arrived to the ball to let Cinderella into the ballroom. The clock began to stroke midnight. As she ran out the door she lost one of her pretty glass slippers. And then lived happily after after. THE END.
3. Once upon a time there was a beautiful girl named Ariel. One day she would like to marry a prince. One of those humans. So she swam up to the surface. But then her daddy recognized that she swam up to the surface. "Never go to the surface again!" said her dad. "I'm not little," said Ariel, "I'm a teenager. And one day I would like to marry a prince." "But Ariel, you can't go to the surface. You're too little." Ariel had a friend named Flounder. The prince and Ariel lived happily ever after after. THE END.
4. Once upon a time there was a boy named Eric. He liked to marry. One day his mom packed him a nice basket of ice cream for his grandma. That day a bad wolf came and gulped up Eric's grandma. That day Eric arrived at Grandma's house. But that day the wolf followed Eric into his grandma's house. He quickly called for someone to get the grandma out. One day that evening a princess came. She helped the grandma out of the wolf's tummy and they had a yummy picnic together. THE END.
I just wrote, word for word what my little girl said. She is such a hilarious kid. Great stories, Emmers! I especially like your version of Little Red Ridding Hood.
