An Original Story

Performed by
Anna, age 4

Commentary by
Sarah, age 4
Jason, age 27


Anna: Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Goldilocks. And she went to a house where there was a mean bear. And she went inside and saw something good and eaty.

Sarah: Eaty means something you can eat.

Jason: Thanks for clarifying.

Anna: Yes. And she was soooo hungry. She saw three bowls of cereal.

Sarah: Porridge.

Anna: No. This isn't The Three Bears. She saw three bowls of cereal.

Jason: What kind?

Anna: Mini Wheats.

Jason: Good choice.

Anna: So she tried the first bowl of Mini Wheats and it was too... too...

Jason: Soggy.

Anna: Yeah. It was too soggy. Then she tried the second bowl, and it was too...

Jason: Crunchy.

Anna: Crunchy. Then she tried the third bowl, and it was juuuuust right, and she ate it all up!

Sarah: This is just like The Three Bears.

Anna: It's not The Three Bears. Then she felt like sitting. So she went in the living room and there were three chairs.

Jason: Couches?

Anna: No. Chairs. First she sat in Papa Bear's chair, but it was too... too...

Jason: Mod.

Anna: Yes. It was too mod. Then she sat in Mama Bear's chair, but it was too... too... too...

Jason: French country.

Anna: It was too French country. Then she sat in Baby Bear's chair and it was--

Jason: Too cute.

Anna: It was too cute! And that was just right for Goldilocks. So she sat in it up and down so many times, it broked, and it falled, and Goldilocks falled too.

Sarah: This is just like The Three Bears.

Anna: No, it's not. Then she was soooooo sleepy that she wanted to lay down, so she went upstairs.

Jason: But she didn't find any beds, because the bears shopped at Ikea and had futons.

Anna: No. They had beds. First she laid down in Papa Bear's bed...

Jason: But his sleep number was like ninety.

Anna: No. It was too...

Jason: Smelly.

Anna: Yeah, smelly. Then she tried Mama Bear's bed, and it--

Jason: It had too many pillows. Mama Bears always sleep with too many pillows.

Anna: Yeah. Then she tried Baby Bear's bed and it was just right. So she laid down, and her head was on the pillow, and she falled faaaaast asleep.

Sarah: This is just like The Three Bears.

Anna: No, it's a different story.

Sarah: But she ate the food, and then she broked the chairs, and then she slept in Baby Bear's bed!

Anna: It is not The Three Bears, Sissy! Then the three bears comed home. And Papa Bear said, "Somebody has been eating my cereal." And Mama Bear said, "Somebody has been eating my cereal." And Baby Bear said, "Somebody has been eating my cereal too, and she ate it all up!"

Jason: How did Baby Bear know it was a 'she'? He's never seen Goldilocks before. Is this like the sequel to The Three Bears?

Anna: This is NOT The Three Bears!

I'm sorry the bears (NOT the 3 bears, of course) didn't sleep on futons. That would have made a good twist to the story, differentiating it completely from the 3 bears! :-)

I have just read this to my husband. He never laughs at anything I read him. He laughed at this, because this could sooooooooooooooooo happen in our house. . .my daughter telling an incredibly detailed story to her daddy, who interrupts non-stop, and she continues, non-plussed, but re-explains everything because her Daddy has messed it all up, and her little brother throwing in comments randomly.

Just had to come and visit it again. I promise I am not a blog stalker. . .it's just not often you get that many laughs from the same thing.
