Elise's First Tall Tale Story
Yesterday in the car, Elise started whining and saying that her leg was "owie." Since I couldn't stop driving to go back and kiss her leg (which is what she wanted), I attempted distraction. So I asked her if an alligator tickled her leg. Since "alligator" and "tickle" are both words that she loves, she responded, "Yes." She then proceeded to make up a story about said alligator. We talked back and forth during this process so that I could clarify and compose the story. I recorded myself reciting the story back to her on my phone so that I could document it accurately, and at the end of the recording, she says, "Yes," so I think I got it right.
