On the way to town yesturday, Elliot and I decided to tell eachother stories. After his was over, he yells "your turn mom!!"
So i begin my story....and i will give you the nutshell version of my story since elliot is home with me today and he has already finished folding the pile of rags i had him fold to 'kick the can a little further down the road' to give me a few more minutes here!!
But the story was along these lines:
There once were 2 little boys who lived in a beautiful home with their stunning mother and crazy smart daddy....but one day peace was disturbed in their little lives when the evil queen who ruled their land decreed that each family were only allowed to have ONE child.
{it was around this time that elliot pipes up from the back with big eyes 'is this real?'}
So, i continue.....telling elliot how these 2 little boys would no longer live together, that if the older brother left, he would go live with minnie and mickey mouse at Disneyland, and if the younger brother left, he would go live in a train at the train museum. But here was the trickey part, the parents were not allowed to choose which child left....it would be up to the children to decide.
{it was at this point that elliot pipes up "oh....i will miss isaac.....but he will have fun living in Disneyland'}
