Possibly of interest only to people wishing to share the vicarious grandparent experience or fans of the adventures of hilariously theatrical preschoolers. Mommy carries the story line at first with Lena serving as a highly emotive Greek chorus. But as the story rolls along, Lena starts piling on the plot twists to Mommy's obvious surprise. Even if you don't have the stamina for the whole 12:29 minutes, I suggest skipping to about 11:00 to catch the exciting climax of the story (especially Lena's closing comment)

The stars of the stories I tell the Alaska Cousin. The series is called Renaldo and Mavis' Magic Clinic. I sent her some pictures of herself before and after face-painting (she got turned into a cheetah), and I said I wished I was there getting face painting again. She texted back, "I wish so too. How about you tell me a Reynaldo and Mavis about that cheetah and me?"

Which I did on Wednesday. It was called "Reynaldo and Mavis and the Tree with a Hole in It." The basics never change. They have the three ingredients of their magic: 1) Blue Cloud, 2) Sparkles, 3) Juice. They have a clinic with a waiting area where there is a fish tank with a fish named Pickle. The waiting area always has 2 or 3 old men in it who never say anything, and most of the time there is a boy with a giraffe that needs some adjustments. The receptionist always lets the stars of the story cut the line.

I honestly cannot remember the canon beyond that, but she knows it. I just make stuff up and I have been told that it's pretty good. She listens incredibly intently, often coloring or drawing while I tell the story. I should tape one and see if it makes any sense at all. :-)

Did they get the boy out?

Of course they did! Come *on*!

Lena has quite the infectious giggle when she is excited.

Ha! I love the insouciance of just assuming the story resolution without actually mentioning it. :)
