[quote=Anonymous]We tell stories in our house.

I ask the question "What did you have for lunch today"
I don't get a real answer - I get a story.

Sometimes there is a food fight, sometimes a celebrity chef  was there, "tom" passed gas so loud that we got a red cup - but I don't get an answer.

The goal is to talk to your kids, not get an NSA report on their day. Sometimes after/in the fake story you get the facts.  Sometimes the truth is bigger than their stories they tell and you ask - was that real and they are like - NO really I'm not making this up!

Talking to your parents should be fun, so make it fun.  Let it be story time.

My mom actually did this, or I think my brother started it. In high school he always had an Elvis story about his day. Elvis was a sub, they were forced to sing, Elvis is the new janitor, etc.

I think I told my oldest that story in preschool and we are still telling stories in middle school.  The bonus, my youngest is doing great in writing in 3rd grade - he's been listening to story telling his whole life!

Sometimes life is boring and it's nice to be allowed to start with a story. They know the truth. This is just dinner /car conversation. [/quote]
