Claire and I make up a story

After reading our two chapters of Little House on the Prairie, Claire and I made up stories together - I say a part of the story and then she makes up the next part and so on. I recorded one of them below:

Me: One day, Ma and Pa decided to go to town.

C: But Laura stayed home with Ma and Mary went off the school by herself and Mary saw a car and her ran across the street and her telled the teacher that a car almost hit me and when we went back her tell Ma and Pa that I almost got crashed by a car. Is Laura here? Her's sleeping. Her was gone and we didn't see her under the blankets anywhere and her runned across the street by herself and her ran to a far away country California. And Baby Carrie was sleeping and her cried all day and her fell fast asleep.

Me: And then, new neighbors moved next door beside Ma and Pa and Mary and Laura (No Mom - don't you remember that Laura left?) and baby Carrie.

C: A little boy. His name was Asher. And he cried a lot.

Me: So Mary decided to babysit Asher.

C: Actually, Laura is in the North Pole and then she went to California and she she went back to the North Pole and then her decided to live in California.

Me: Mary and baby Asher and baby Carrie played some fun games.

C: But her's cried a lot and didn't like the games but Mary didn't care because Ma picked her up and rocked her in a chair that Pa made her and her fell fast asleep at night time and Laura came back home for one second to get a drink of water and then her left to go back to California.

Me: Ma and Pa missed Laura so much that they decided to find her in California [No Mom - they went to the North Pole].

C: And when they looked in the North Pole they didn't find her but they found a head. Do you know what head that was? It was Jack's. He was buried in a hole and was stuck but he got out.

Me: Then they started asking people if they had seen a little girl named Laura.

C: But noone said yes but man who lived in the North Pole he said Laura is in Michigan.

Me: So Ma and Pa drove the wagon all the way to Michigan to find her. They went to a city named Holland and went to look for Laura at the beach there.

C: But they didn't find her.

Me: They got really sad and started to cry because they wanted Laura back home.

C: Soon they looked in California and they found her. They cried and cried and said we miss you and miss you and love and joy and they said a Christmas song and they said a song: Good news good news and unto Bethlehem is born a boy [at this point, Claire is singing]. And Laura started singing with them. And they were so happy to see Laura again and they gave her 500 kisses.

The End.
