Stories

Nick loves his bedtime stories. I usually tell elaborate stories with Nick as the hero, after which he asks "Will you tell Dad to come tell me one?". So last night Chris went in Nick's room and moments later I heard peels of laughter. This is the story Chris was telling...

Once upon a time, Mommy, Daddy and all the aunts were at Grammy's house. They took a walk around the neighborhood to get some fresh air. They walked by a a big, scary house. Dad said "This is a haunted house." They heard a little song "when the log rolls over, we'll all be dead". They went inside and could still hear the song "when the log rolls over, we'll all be dead". Aunt Shannon and Aunt Andrea ran screaming out of the house. Then they all went to the basement. A bat flew out of a corner. Aunt Megan and Aunt Gretchen ran out. As they ran out they heard ""when the log rolls over, we'll all be dead". It was just Mom and Dad left. They went upstairs and held each other because they were so scared. "When the log rolls over, we'll all be dead". They got to the top of the stairs and Dad said "It sounds like it's coming from the bathroom". They opened the bathroom door and heard louder singing "when the log rolls over, we'll all be dead". They opened the toilet lid and there were three flies with their legs stuck in a piece of poop. "When the log rolls over, we'll all be dead".

Nick just about peed himself he was laughing so hard at this story. This is apparently what kids learn in summer camp in the 70s.
