This is just a quick post for those of you who aren't on facebook and so didn't see my status update about Andrew's latest story. Yesterday, while Evelyn slept, Andrew decided that he wanted to write a story. Specifically, he dictated the story to me while he illustrated. (What's funny to me is what the story reveals about Andrew's world-view, especially since it's mostly drawn from his own routine). Without further ado . . . (oh, except I should note that this is pretty much word for word what Andrew told me).

Once upon a time, a mommy made a pie. When it was done, it smelled so good that she wanted to take a bite. But her son said, "No, no! Not yet. First we have to give some to our neighbors, then you can taste some and we'll have lunch."
"What are we having for lunch?" The mom asked.
Her boy told her, "Mangoes and macaroni."
"Mangoes and macaroni? That sounds mango-licious!"

(The story goes on a little from there--mostly to describe Evelyn's nap. But this was the most pertinent point. I love the "mango-licious"--I have no idea where he got that from.)
