I first started capturing her storytelling using the video mode on our digital camera, around about April, but she soon refused to let me film her. So I tried writing her stories while she told them, using pen and paper. That lasted for only a few stories too, before she caught on. Since then, I've been recording her using a mini MP3 recorder, which is pretty unobtrusive, and transcribing the audio later. She then objected strongly to this as well... Nowadays I use a combo of MP3 and video to record her before transcribing. I only manage to record a fraction of the stories she tells. I always have a backlog of stories on the recorder that still need transcribing, as it's impossible for me to keep up with her. To help new readers, I've marked my favourite stories with a star (*), so at least you have somewhere to start if you don't know where to begin. Don't forget to check the older archives too - there are some gems in there as well!

Something creepy, 2007-08-31

Daddy recorded this one. She got distracted shortly after he started recording. I'm not sure how far into the story the recording began, but it sounds reasonably complete as a super short story as it is ;)


DAH!!!! No time... maybe it was not something, but maybe it was. Something is broke in the store. Because he was mad about it, because it was CAT in bin! He saw... he said something, “(spooky voice) I’m so scared, I’m spying in a... spying in a hole...”. He was so scared he was. The creepy voice was Ickoben(?).
