Telling Stories

When Mason first started Kindergarten, we would ask him how his day was and for several days he would tell us that the class went to the pumpkin patch. I can't remember if this was before or after they actually DID go to the pumpkin patch. But basically, by his accounts, his class had been there around 12 times. He would also make up birthday parties that he had gone to that day. We chalked it up to a big imagination and it eventually went away. Well guess what? The stories are back! The other night at dinner Mason shared with us this story:

Mason: I took a driving test.

Me: Really? How did you get there?

Mason: Mrs. Cappa took the class to take the test.

Me: What else did you guys do?

Mason: Then they went to the pumpkin patch.

Me: How many pumpkins have you had from that pumpkin patch?

Mason: About 10

Me: What have you done with all of those pumpkins?

Mason: I ate all the seeds out.

Me: I can't wait to ask Mrs. Cappa about that tomorrow.

Mason: Well, I have some bad news. She passed away.

Me: What?

Mason: You can't talk to her becase she is in the hospital.

Me: What happened to her?

Mason: She passed away. (clearly doesn't get the concept)

Me: Oh my gosh, that is so sad. I should go visit her in the hospital.

Mason: ok, Mommy, I was just pretending.

That guy is a character!!! I can't wait to hear what he comes up with next.
