"One day, there was a big blast in outer space! And this guy, he pulled all his hair out and he was bald! And then he fell in a big hole! And he couldn't get out of there and he was sad because he wants to see his mommy but he can't! Then Mickey Mouse came and rescued him! And he is soooo happy! He had to help his mommy with the dishes. And then they went for a walk! And a big giant was there and he said, "Fee fie foam!" I don't like giants. They're scary! And they lived happily ever after. The end!"
Word for word, that's what you get when you ask a two and a half year old to tell you a bedtime story for a change. It had excitement (a big blast in outer space), interesting characters (Mickey Mouse, a giant, and an anonymous bald guy), a scary moment (falling in the big hole), a surprising rescue (by a mouse), adorable dialogue (fee fie foam), and a happy ending (happily ever after, in fact). What more could I ask for?
