A little off topic, sorry 'bout that.

I liked to get my kids to help me with stories. I might start with, "Once upon a time there was a big old..." I'd scratch my head until one of them said, "dragon" or "farmer" or "giant". I'd sometimes say something like, "There was only one way to escape and that was..."

Grandpa and Grandma often were major characters in the stories, as were our two dogs.

One night I recall being really sleepy and I guess I must've been drifting off, because I was wakened by two three year olds saying, "Papa, That doesn't make any sense." I guess I kept trying to tell the story, even though I was falling asleep...train of thought.
