I'm writing this down now because Clara was worried I would forget the story and she wants to hear it again. So, here goes.
Tonight I had read Clara a few books and was going to lay down with her and she said "Dad, will you tell me a story?" And I said, "but I just read you three books! How about some songs?" Then she said "well, not right now. How about just a little story?"
Then I said, "what would you want the story to be about?" and she replied, "A little girl and her father." And I said "well, all right." So here's the story I told her...
Once upon a time there was a little girl and her father lying in bed, and the little girl said, "Daddy, will you tell me a story?" And the dad said "but I just read you three stories! How about some songs?" And the girl said "well, not right now. How about just a little story?" And the dad said "what would you want the story to be about?" and the little girl said, "a little girl and her father." So the dad said "well, all right.
