Dahlia’s story : Doodle’s Big Vacation
Dahlia told me this story in August – Doodle’s Big Vacation
Once upon a time, in Doddletown, there was a lot of nice people. But the most nicest was Doodle. He was the nicest one in the world. And Doodle was at his house – he thought “I’m going to go to the park today”. He sat in his chair and he thought “last summer” he said, “I went to Paris, London and can you believe it” he went to Hollywood. So he decided to do another vacation. First he wanted to go to space, then after he came down he wanted to go Antarctica, then after that he wanted to go to the rainforest. And when he gets home, he’s going to do soccer.

This is Dahlia’s story. My challenge to you, dear reader, is to read this without consulting my transcription of it (that she read to me) below the picture.
What it says
Once upon a time there was a very quiet cottage. There was two girls named Dahlia and Ella. Ella was bigger. Dahlia was smaller. Ella liked to watch the sun set. Dahlia liked to watch the sun rise. When it was night, Dahlia heard footsteps.
Dahlia yelled “Ella!”

What it says
Ella runs to Dahlia’s room.
Ella said “What’s wrong?”
I hear the Headless Horseman!
“We need to run!” said Ella.
“But what about our cottage?” said Dahlia
“We maybe be stuck in the woods with the bats and the moths” said Ella
“Now we better hurry!” said Ella

Part 3
Spoiler
Dahlia said “I hear footsteps! but they don’t sound like the Headless Horseman”
“Sabina!”
Dahlia ran first to Sabina, then Ella.
“But Sabina, the headless horseman beat our home” said Ella
“Don’t worry, I sent a vampire so he’s dead” said Ella
“Yes” said Dahlia
“So let’s build a log cabin”
“Great idea Sabina!”
and they lived happily ever after!

Another Dahlia story
She’s on a roll tonight. She’s been obsessed with the Titanic for a couple of weeks now. She thinks about it a lot with the upcoming cruise this summer (and frets on it as well). The story she just told me and Monti in bed:
Dahlia: “Daddy you know Liv’s daddy? He has a friend who was on the Titanic…”
Me: “Oh really?”
(Monti starts piping up “Hey you mean great-great-great-grandfath….” Dahlia cuts her off)
Dahlia: “yeah! And he didn’t die! he had only underwear and it was made out of polar bear skin so he didn’t die.”

Dahlia and her stories
Dahlia has been getting very creative with her stories lately. She very much is beginning to embellish. For instance I was laying with her tonight before bed – the story went something like this:
Dahlia: “Daddy you know how after school we went to the adenoid and tonsil doctors? The ones where we had them taken out? Well I was looking in the garbage can there and I saw where they put all the guts and everything and I looked in there and I saw the brains! For real!”
Me: (chuckling)
Dahlia: “Dad! What are you laughing at?”
Me:”Nothing – your story – it’s funny”
Dahlia:”DAD! IT’S REAL!!!! I MEAN IT!”
There have been several in the past couple of weeks like this. I will try to record them here from now on.
