Yogs Cinderella Story

 

Sweet as SugarLast night in a vain attempt to put three kids to sleep together, I decided to read them some stories. The first book that we read was an extremely abridged version of Cinderella. This is how it went:

“Cinderella: There is a ball in the castle. I want to go too.

First Step Sister: Oh! but you don’t have a dress to wear to the ball.

Second Step Sister: Oh! but you don’t have shoes to wear to the ball.

Step Mother (laughing): Ha ha!! You don’t even have a carriage to go to the ball.

Cinderella rushes up to her room crying. The Fairy Godmother visits Cinderella to check on her. ”

From here on, Yog wanted to pretend that he was Cinderella. So we played along.

Yog keeping his hands to his chest: Yog, ball!! (meaning Yog wants to go to the ball).

First Step Sister (Toyna): Oh! but you don’t have a dress to wear to the ball.

Second Step Sister (Sia): Oh! but you don’t have shoes to wear to the ball.

Step Mother (Me): Ha ha!! Cinderella you are Boy!

And we all burst out laughing.

Yog (rolling over with laughter, hugging himself): Yog, boy!!!
