Stories and Squirts was awesome! Sarah (8) and Jane (7) showed up this morning at ten, along with Petra (3) and her mom, Megan (mom-aged). My son Zach (3) and husband Mike (42) were there, too. I don't know why I am telling you everyone's ages (or who "you" are. Who knows who reads or will read this blog, but it's fun to write anyway!).
Sarah wrote an amazing story about a girl named Pinch-faced Amanda who was pinch-faced for a special reason that nobody knew about, and Jane's story was about a girl named Sarah Storyteller, who wanted to be a Story Babysitter but when she got a surprise make-over, she turned into a person who teases kids. Megan and Petra wrote about a mouse who wished he was a house. In my story, a banana named Kooky Karen really wanted to be an apple (I'm 37).
After each section of the workshop, we got drenched. Good thing the girls wore their suits. After we wrapped up our stories, Jane and Sarah won copies of Next to Mexico (Megan has one).
This was so much fun. Thank you Sarah and Jane and Megan and Petra for coming. Stay tuned for more fun events involving my book and writing workshops!
