“The Bear That Lived in a Tree”: A story by my sons
This is a guest post of sorts. My older son likes to make-up stories and his brother often chimes in. Here is one written today. It is entitled “The Bear That Lived in a Tree.”
The Bear That Lived in a Tree
(By Tomas and Gabriel Rocha, ages 5 and 3.)
Once upon a time, there was a bear that ate plants. The bear also ate meat. He even liked eggs. He loved salami!
One day, he was at the park, playing tag and jump-rope with his friends, Meerkat and Otter. All of a sudden a big robot that looked like Tomas came and stole the jump-rope. The Meerkat, Otter, and Bear ran and got the jump-rope from the robot and threw rocks until he went away and broke. A whale also appeared and splooshed the park with water and they played in it until it was time to go home.
The end.

This sounds just about right. (My boys are “four-and-a-half” and “almost-three.”)
If my youngest son (age 5) were a cowriter, there would be a pirate featured prominently, maybe an entire pirate ship, & probably a few large snakes. And a bunch of guns. They try to keep us young, don’t they?
((Sigh)) That’s the good stuff, Sam. Savor every silly story because it really does go by so fast. Ah, shit. Now I’m weepy. Gotta go.
