Miss E (7) wrote this little tale a few months back;
She wouldn’t let me blog it at the time as she was a bit embarrassed by the fact that I snorted and guffawed at it, but it was only because I found it so cute.
In case you can’t make it out it says:
‘A long long time ago there lived a princess. She was kind and beautiful.
One day the Princess went out for a ride in the royal carriage then she met a prince.
The Prince was handsome and brave and kind too. He was riding on a horse with his knights behind him.
The Prince waved to the princess and the Princess waved back.
“Hello” they said to each other.
Then they got married!
The end!’
Hee hee.
But what’s really amazing is that that is just how Mr B and I met.
No, really, it was.
P.S. I promise I will reply to all your lovely comments soon. Thanks so much for popping in while I’ve been ‘laid up’. I had a good day today so did a little catching up, and hopefully I’ll get round to see more of you soon. Thanks for all your support and funny comments.

awwwwwwwww…I can’t wait for stories like that. How darling.
thinking of you Jo! Miss you!
March 5th, 2008 at 5:12 pm
well, sweetie, we all know you’ve been recuperating. i think you’ll stress yourself out trying to respond to all those comments. i’d rather have you non-stressed.
and DANG! i am where i am because of a five letter word? i must let queen of hearts know to be careful who she says hello to! sheeeesh.
queen of hearts! stop saying hello to the mailman! and no, not to the bus driver!! yes, you can say hello to the nice rich man over there…
by the way. i love that you thought to put birds in the picture. you are very thorough indeed.
March 5th, 2008 at 5:13 pm
just to be clear, i mean when queen of hearts is OLDER. i’m not letting her say hi to rich men *now*. that would be wrong.

Hee. hee. well, Eli told me today that you can’t get married until you are 23 because it is very hard to find a girlfriend when you are 18. She used her 18 year old brother as a case in point. Ohhhh, if only he knew that a 5 year old was critiquing his (lack of ) love life…..

That’s pretty much how Eduard and I got married. We liked each other and he said, “Let’s get married” and I said, “Okay” and so we did.

I’m glad you’re on the mend and your sense of humor is clearly in fabulous shape.

Chivalry is not yet dead… “Hiya. Wanna get hitched?”

Hee Hee. Just last night, over a plateful of spaghetti, Snags said in a rather accusatory tone, “I know you and dad are in ROMANCE. I’ve seen you hug and kiss you ROMANCERS!” Now there is a big R blazoned on the front of my dress. Likse Hester, but not.

You told me you found Mr B after replying to some dodgy advert he put in the local paper!
March 6th, 2008 at 8:33 am
Now I know all your children are super smart, look at her handwriting! It is beautiful!
The story is complete, with a beginning and end, and some adjectives thrown in, who could ask for more?

I’m with Jo, holy crow! You’re 7 yo can write complete sentences, convey complete thoughts, incorporate (mostly) accurate spellings, and everything written in cursive no less!
Holy momma! I’m moving to England ~ my kids, here in America are so academically screwed!
However, I really want to wish you the best on your continued recovery!

Cami,
xx
Lori, that is just the cutest. Miss E once said she was going to marry her daddy, but now I think she’d prefer Zac Efron.
Susan, and we would all have been princesses and there were plenty of eligible princes to go round and nobody said the word diet.
Corey, her stories are so cool. That was a pretty basic one for her she wrote while playing n her room. She wrote this fantastic one while I was in hospital. It blew me away.
Holl, thanks, I’ll take my time with replying, but I feel so bad if I don’t cos I love me some comments you know. And I’m so glad you’re not trying to get qoh hitched yet. You should wait till she’s at least 12.
Lee that is so funny. Poor boy, written off at 18.
Irene, that is perfect.
Deb, thanks my dear,and I’ll be over to visit soon.
Art, it’s better than the stuff you get today isn’t it? Or I mixing with the wrong kind of people?
Belle, I love Snags. And I love that you are in romance. I always knew you were a romancer. SIghhhhh.
Rosie, shhhh, don’t tell.
Jo, thank you so much. I love how their heads work. That’s one of the shortest stories she’s ever written, but it was such a perfect little capsule it made me howl. If only that’s how it worked.
Molly Gras, thank you, that is so lovely. They only teach cursive now (Until the next time they change it). Miss M (3) will be learning all her letters with the little hooks and tails, so cursive is only a step away right from the start. At first I thought it was so hard for them, especially as we have bs and fs in our name, but now I can see why they do it so young.

Very well written. I do believe your children are geniuses.
