Brianna and I have had this story going for the past week. She calls it "Pinky." It is about the girl named Brianna, who can transform herself into a cat, and the cat she has taken in, Pinky, and Pinky's 71 kittens. Here are a few gems:
Mommy: (after Brianna explains where we are starting the story today) So the 71 kittens were all sitting on the windowsill looking out--
Brianna: Peering, they were peering.
OK
Then she explained that Brianna had registered for college. She had to put a dollar in an envelope because her college costs a dollar. I asked what kind of classes she would be taking. Brianna said, Oh, she's in a special class for people who are about 61 years old. They have lots of writing homework.
In this morning's episode, Brianna and Pinky and the 71 kittens threw an anniversary party for Brianna's mommy and got her a gift at the purple store because purple is her favorite color. They got her a purple glittery star push-on light to go next to her bed "because sometimes even mommies are afraid of the dark."
I am grateful that I have not had to keep this story going for so long. basically I just restate whatever Brianna tells me to, but my job appears to be crucial.
