Welcome to Anybody Home!

Here you will find scattered pictures from my point and shoot camera, random thoughts from my little world, treasured memories of days gone by, hopeful dreams of the days yet to come, and a bunch of ideas - because I've always got ideas!

Today

Today I got to see a side of Jonge that I haven't seen before.

His story-telling side.

He has been telling stories to his daddy and mommy for quite sometime.

Pake hears the stories when they take walks through the neighborhood.

Somehow, he hadn't seen fit to tell me a story. Until today.

Today he took a page from a magazine. It was an advertisement for flooring, I believe.

In the picture there was a large dog and a young girl.

This story took nearly 30 minutes to tell.

It involved signs, words, full sentences and drama.

Sometimes he would refer to the page, using his index finger to point for emphasis.

Sometimes he would throw his head back and hold both arms above his head.

I LOVED it!

If I'm any good at interpreting, I'd say the dog was in BIG trouble.

This sounds like exactly what our just 2 year old granddaughter is doing. Her stories are a riot - not too many real words - but enough hand gestures to make it hilarious.

Maybe you have a budding Lord Laurence Olivier on your hands!

How precious - this made me remember 'way back when' our children and grandchildren did the same thing. I hope someone is getting a video of his storytelling - it's to precious not to save!
