Wubie Gets in a Carrying Case that Floats into the Sky
Lucy: “Daddy, lie down and pretend you’re at French Fry town.”
Daddy: “OK.”
Lucy: “Welcome to French Fry town. Can I take your order?”
Daddy: “I’d like some…french fries!”
Lucy: “We’re all out of any of the good stuff.”
Daddy: “Oh…well, what do you have?”
Lucy: “Ummm….mushrooms.”
— Playing with Lucy
Lucy is always asking us to tell her “make up stories”, tales where she comes up with a scenario and we provide a fitting story. The stories always seem to feature our cat, Wubie.
So yesterday when the kid asked for a story I decided to grab my microphone and hit ‘record’.
“Okay, what do you want to hear?” I asked.
“Wubie gets in a carrying case that floats into the sky and Bundle chases it in her rocketship” she answered.
Instead of asking her what a carrying case was, I just thought “brown paper grocery bag” and told her a story. Afterwards, I dumped the recording into GarageBand and added a few foley-ish sound effects to the beginning. (I originally planned to add sound effects to the whole story, but decided it would take too long.) I had so much fun making it that I now have plans for a more polished recording, with an actual fleshed out story to start with and better overall sound quality. I think that’d be kinda neat. Anyway, here’s Lucy’s story:

that was quite a story! glad you were able to catch it. Now I too am afraid of carrying cases.
