Bedtime stories

When Champion asked for a bedtime story, we assumed that he wanted to listen to the 'Lion and the mouse' story (a story which we know he knows). When we asked him, "What story you want?", he answered us, "Crow".

Wow! He had another story in mind. I guess he didn't want to hear the same story again. Hmmm, my mum must have been telling him lots of stories :)

Okay, so apps told him the story. The storyline was going fine, until one part, I had to interrupt..

The crow was so hungry. It saw an old lady selling 'kueh' (his version of 'kuih'). The crow took some money and buy the 'kueh'..


"Hah?! Where got like that? Why you telling him the wrong thing?" I interrupted.

"No lah. Its my version. Just making it interesting for him lah.." apps answered me.

Hahaha. I know, he must have forgotten the storyline.

But apps really funny lah sometimes. He will change the storyline (when he is not sure how the original story goes) or will create some crazy stories, which I myself will laugh head over heels...

I don't know if I can remember it right, but here's one...

Once upon a time, there was this boy. He playing outside his house. Then his mother ask him to go to shop to buy 'something' (can't remember what was it).

The boy went to the shop happily. Suddenly it started raining. The river overflowed and it flooded the bridge. Then the boy cannot go to the shop.

Then the boy thought, “What to do?” The boy think, and think, and think.

“Ahhh, I know!”, the boy said. The boy takes all the water, put in his ears, and then put a cork to it! **

Then the boy go to the shop, buy the things for his mother. After that, he walk back home. When the boy got back to the bridge, he crossed it. Just after crossing it, he open his cork and let the water flow back into the river!

Then the boy went back home happily.


** At this point I started laughing like mad inside me, allowing them to continue the story.


Hahahaha.. Sometimes I myself like apps to tell the bedtime stories. Its fun!

Haha. I like that story. Your DH is like mine except mine modifies the nursery rhymes, not so much the stories. Now my girl follow the dad and make up her own silly songs too.

Dear Egghead ...
Hmm, next time I can expect the same from my boys.. should be fun loh!


Dear mumsgather ...
Yeap, until I laughed so much. Even now, when he says he wanna tell story, I ask him, "The cork story?" :)


Dear Allyfeel ...
Yeah.. sometimes we need a change.. to laugh our heart out.

Thanks. That's what I like in him.

We should do that... then the child will have more question for us.. Good way to make them think.


Dear SFO ...
Thanks dear..


Dear Zara's Mama ...
Fuyoo! That is a high tech story lah. I myself can't think how to get the story going..

But I'm sure if he had to write something, it would be funny.. (wish he had the time, coz' he will have to read all the Chapters...)


Dear Lian ...
Hmmm, looks like we are trying our best to make things more interesting for our kids. I don't think parents from the previous generation did that.

So, that makes us cool parents!

Gives them an imaginative mind, isn't it!
