Tell me a story

‘Grandpa, tell me the
story when moths entered your room.’
‘I have already told it.’
‘You went to sleep,
halfway.’
‘We were out for dinner;
my seven brothers….’
‘You had seven brothers?
How old were you?’
‘I was five …’
‘I am also five. I have no brothers, why?’
‘Ask mama; let me finish
the story, when the dinner was served…’
‘Who served the dinner?
‘If you interrupt….’
‘………..’
‘Suddenly hundreds of
moths entered the restaurant.’
‘Last time you said they
entered your bedroom?’
‘No.’
‘Yes, I remember every
word.’
‘Tell me, then.’
The child began the story; the grandpa was soon asleep.

DeleteDear Arora
ReplyDeleteCute dialogue. I suspect that Grandpa will never finish his story.
Shalom,

DeleteIsn't that often the case? After telling, and retelling, the grandkids know the story better than grandpa or grandma. Lovely story.

DeleteHaha. You can't get away with anything when it comes to telling children stories, even if they go to sleep in the telling they'll know. Liked how he put grandpa to sleep.
