Bedtime Stories

The other night my children decided to tell me a bedtime story. Here are each of my kids stories:

My Daughter - Once upon a time in a magical land where candy canes grow on trees and you eat chocolate and more chocolate. Beautiful dancers were dancing and dancing. The end.

My Son - Once upon a time a giant asteroid came from outer space and collided with earth. The force from the impact was so great that it destroyed everything! Life on the planet was devastated! All the trees, water, buildings and mountains disintegrated. Everyone on earth was dead. The end.

My how my children differ.

If I were a jellyfish

This morning my son told me, "Mom, you could still keep me as your son if I were a jellyfish. But, you would have to get a big tank and we might have to move to a new state with laws protecting people who own jellyfish."

And, now I have a plan if my son ever turns into a jellyfish - good to know.
