How to tell a story like Luke

Ask mommy and daddy to tell a story, correct them along the way when they get it wrong.

Pick a "nice" guy:
a) an ogre
b) a sea monster
c) a dragon robot
d) a transformer

Pick a "mean" guy:
a) an ogre
b) a sea monster
c) a dragon robot
d) a transformer

Pick a lost object:
a) a key
b) a wand
c) Michael

Choose where that lost object is being hidden:
a) a forest
b) a hole

Take a speeder to the location. It must be a speeder. You are armed with a blaster. It must be a blaster.

Who is gaurding the object:
a) a three-headed dog
b) a dragon
c) a monster-truck robot
d) a transformer

Who tells you how to cast a spell and get past the creature gaurding the object?
a) Jackson
b) "Uncle" Larry
c) a red crocodile with sharp teeth that opens and closes its mouth
d) Jennie and Daniela

What magic words do you use?
a) abercadeeber
b) hocus hocus

There follows a wild, incredibly difficult to follow battle in which all of the characters fight each other. Luke, Daddy and Michael take part somehow.

Choose your Deus ex Machina (i.e. the guy that comes out and saves everyone with no explanation):
a) a transformer
b) yummy yummy Eli flying on a large bird
c) a dragon robot
d) a three-headed dog

Make mommy or daddy start all over again and continue for upwards of two hours. If they suggest stopping, start screaming.

I'm so glad that yummy yummy Eli gets to be the "good guy". Though lately, he's the "tantrum throwing guy". Do you have one of those in your stories????

BTW, I want you to tell me stories. My stories always suck.

Jennie always tries to correct my stories as well.

I'm hoping to have numerous story times such as you describe (horrible, truly horrible)...
When can we start using the hedge trimmer rather than the blaster?
...and what color is the hedge trimmer?
...and will Nan be able to share the hedge trimmer?
