We are on our way home today............Donovan decides to share a story.

" Mommy? "
" Yes, Donovan? "
" I have friends waiting for me at home. "
" Oh?, really?, what friends are these? "
" I have 153 invisible cats who are 9 "
...silence....
" Really?...153 invisible cats who are 9 years old? "
" Yes, and they are on my bed, in school. "
" Cat school? "
" Yes, special cat school. "
" Hmmm, wow, tell me more. "
" They have names... "
" What are their names? "
" (thinking)...Tired, Light, Cup, Rolling.... "
" Wow, those are really nice names, Sweetie. "
" Yes, and 100 of them are named Nerd. "
" Hmm, Nerd? "
" Yes, like my candy. "
" Oh right, you have nerds back there. "
" Yep!! " ( big grin)
" They are all at home except this one(holding out his hand), in my hand, it turned 10 today, it had a birthday today, his name is Mr. Suitcase. "
" It's nice to meet you Mr. Suitcase."
" And do you know what Mommy? "
" What's that, Honey?
" They eat Nerds catfood. "
" I bet the like that kind of catfood, don't they? "
" Yes, they do. "
" That's a great story honey. Thank you for telling me. "
" You're welcome. "( another big grin)

" Oh, Mommy? "
" Yes, Donovan? "
" I have the same number of Dogs, but they are only 8. " ( huge grin )


This is the end.

I have to say, I have read many stories, many books, but these stories that spawn in my 5 year old sons head are better than any of those.
They are so spontaneous, so creative....so Donovan.
I just could sit here and listen to them all day.
So when I get the treat of having one. I will share it with you.
Maybe ( wink).

I love my son.
I can not wait to tell him this story again when he is 10, and 20 and 30, and then I can tell his kids, too.
This is how great stories are made.
