nap. That means that she is up late. She shares a room with the other girls but since they both have school and she likes to talk and keep them up, she has ended up in my bed for the last few nights until she gets tired of talking and we all fall asleep.So, last night she got emotional on Hubby and I and she tells us that she missed her real mom and dad. Playing along, we asked her what their names were. She said that their names were Bob and Olivia and they were much nicer than Hubby and I. We asked her why, and she told us that they used to let her watch movies when she wanted to go to bed and they let her eat ice cream, and they never kissed on the lips because she doesn't like mom's and dad's to kiss on the lips. It's disgusting! We asked her what happened to her perfect parents. She said that one day a bad guy knocked on the door and come in a shot Bob and Olivia and took her away. We asked how she came to live with us and she said, "Remember, the bad guy brought me to you." She was so silly and she made us laugh, but she didn't laugh at all. She was very serious the whole time and even cried a couple of times in her story because she missed her real parents so much.
So, do you think I have to worry about what she will say to others when she isn't around me?

Don't take her out of the house! You'll be in big trouble if anyone hears her tell that story! That is such a funny story. When my twins were that age they both said they had a different mom named Tooty Fruity. She was a nicer mom than me. The girls would get very upset if we tried to tell them there was no such person. But one day the girls came to me and said she had died and we never heard about her again! Kind of crazy...I still don't know what to think about that one!
Oh yeah, and stop kissing on the lips you guys--that's disgusting! Ha Ha!!
That's too funny! Kids have such amazing imaginations. What would we do without them?!
By the way, this is NOT the true story of how K joined our family. She mine! I gave birth to this crazy child. I have the scars to prove it. I just couldn't believe that she came up with such a traumatic and disturbing story and she made it sound so real. Shouldn't she be telling stories about fairies and princesses with happy, magical endings? Where have I done wrong?
That is so funny!! The other day Kels told my friend that she saw her step-parents in the grocery store the other day. Where do they come up with this stuff!!
I had to crack up as I read your post. My Kaylor is just like her. We have to keep her in our room, she to shares a room and keeps the other girls up giggling and up late....You daoughter sounds so cute....
Oh my. That's quite the kid. It makes me think of the song in Annie, "maybe far away...or maybe they're nearby..."
You should show her that musical and see how she likes it. LOL.
Once Rylee told her preschool teacher that we were going to the orphanage to adopt another baby. Her preschool teacher pulled me aside when I picked her up to ask me if there was anything to that little story. Who knows why they make up this stuff. Maybe they dreamed it?
I'd say yeah. You definitely have to worry about that one. :)
We had a first grade teacher that was getting quite a few stories from our creative story teller. Her philosophy was to only believe half of what she heard about home if we only believed half of what we heard about school. Sometimes even half is too much.
We started recording our daughter as she told her stories (which only got her creative juices flowing even more) but she loves to watch/listen to her stories now and she has become a great creative writer.
Ha! I am a big believer in taking kids' comments with a grain (or a shaker) of salt. But not everyone feels that way. Just don't take her to visit A' counselor. . .
