Tonight my son drew lines and shapes on a piece of paper for awhile until he became upset that he couldn’t write a story. He’s four and can write a couple of letters, not all of them and certainly not sentences. I told him if he told me the story he wanted to write that I’d put the letters down on a piece of paper for him. This is what we came up with.

A Person

Once upon a time there was a person. He slept in his bed. He woke up and walked into his living room. He drank some juice and he watched TV in his living room.

He went outside. His dog needed to go potty. He found a boy. He said, “Uh-oh.” He saw a plane and he went up on the plane with his dog. He needed to go somewhere else. The boy was still outside.

The person went up, up, up in the sky and he saw some letters. He saw A,B,C,D, and two Xs. He danced with the A,B,C,D, and two Xs and he went down to his living room with his dog and the letters and they lived happily ever after.

The End
