Would You Like for Me to Tell You a Story?

Right before Anna Cate goes to sleep, she likes for me to start a "movie" for her. Translation - she wants me to begin a story for her that she can continue on in her dreams. (This is one of the devices we have created for keeping nightmares at bay) Tonight, she got into bed much later than usual, so I told her I was just too tired to create a movie. She answered, "Ok, Mom. Would you like for me to tell you a story?"

"Why, of course." I answered.

"How about one about a princess?" She asked and this is the movie I was told...

One time, there was a princess that lived in a castle. She was beautiful.
She also lived with a dog, who was named Abby. This dog was a black one. She lived with her mother, Queen Amy and her father, King Matthew. They were happy and had fun all the time. She never wanted to leave the castle. That was when she was five. On May 14, she turned six and she got a DS. She was so happy. She got to play it all the time, whenever she wanted. A new day of fun had begun...


At this point, I am supposed to pick up and continue the story, but I kind of like it the way it is.
