Don't scare the babysitter!
A story dictated by Mateo.
Mommy and Mama lion were going to the watering hole to get some water. "Little cub, your favorite babysitter is coming, Melanie. Be good!"
Scott was very excited. Scott and Melody loved it when their babysitter Melanie came to watch them. But when Scott became too excited he tended to ROAR (because that's what lions do), and scare the other animals.
"Hey! Let's go to the park," said Melanie.
"OK," said Scott and Melody.
"We need to get on your paw shoes."
"Help me."
"Try again!"
"Will you please put on my paw shoes?"
Melanie put Scott and Melody in the cub car seat and they drove to the park. They got on the swings. They went high on the swings. Scott got so excited that "ROOOOOOAAAAAR!" All of the other animals ran away from the park.
"AHHHHH"
"Scott, I think we should go somewhere else. Let's go to playdate PDX. This time let's use an inside voice so you don't scare everyone."
They got in the cub car seat. They drove carefully to playdate PDX. Melanie paid the tickets and they both got stamps on their paws."
Melanie and Melody climbed up to the big green slide. They slid down together. Melanie and Scott held paws and slid down the big slide. Scott got so excited that, "RROOOOOAAAAARRRR."
Everyone very quickly ran out of playdate PDX.
Melanie took them out of playdate PDX and drove them home. When they got inside, Melanie said, "I think that's enough scaring for today. I think it's about bed time for both of you."
"I don't want to go to bed," said Melody.
"I don't want to go to bed. I just want to drink juice all night," said Scott.
"I don't think that's a very good idea," said Melanie, "It's bed time. Now."
Scott and Melody got in their beds. "I'm not tired," said Scott, as his eyes started to look sleepy. Soon he fell asleep.
He started to dream. He was in Egypt. "Oh look," he said, "Camels! I've always wanted to see camels. RRRRRRROOOOOOOOAAAAAAARRRRRRR."
"AAAAHHHH," said Melanie. She ran and hid in the closet. Her paws and all of her were shaking.
Soon, his Mommy and Mama came home from the watering hole. "Were you good for the babysitter?"
"Yes," said Scott, looking at his paws.
"Where is the babysitter?"
"I don't know."
"Did you scare the babysitter away? You're not supposed to scare the babysitter."
"Here I am," said Melanie. I wasn't scared, just a little startled. Scott and Melody were good little cubs.
