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!

Wizza Wuzza, 2007-06-04

Ok, this one is a bit confused, but obviously she's continuing with some of the themes from her own recent stories. I still like the last section though, with it's humourous tone :-)

And they went deeper in the woods
And suddenly baby hide everything
And baby heard a noise and said
“WHAT IS THAT???? THAT A FROG!!!!!”
Asked, asked, asked… asked, asked, asked…. T-REX!
And t-rex was fell asleep, and he talking
And t-rex was a (indecipherable)
And brachiosaurus was taking a walk in the woods by himself!
And brachiosaurus was very sad (in a whiny voice), there’s some carnivores in there
The carnivores were eating
Something small and deep
And they
(Cuts off) “AAAARRGGGGGHHHH!!” (pants loudly)
“He running away, running away from me!”
And they was asleep
And they they they didn’t talk in such a hurry
They didn’t talk in such a hurry
And there was a little hook made of rubber
And baby love it and says
“This was a good place, this was a good place”
And mommy says “don’t! don’t don’t don’t don’t!”
“I make you in another country”
And baby picked it up and said, “this is our adventure”
Brachiosaurus, t-rex, the speckled hen, walking in the night
They see nothing scary
And the baby do magic
Maybe was do, maybe was something
Like mommy testing in the forest
Mommy’s testing in the forest
The speckled hen
Illustrations by Baby Bump
Mommy and baby and him, and t-rex and brachiosaurus and the speckled hen
And they lived in a forest called Maybe
And maybe they saw a little hook
And maybe
Maybe….
And
Maybe
Maybe saw a little hook that was made of rubber
And they take it and baby
And I rowed to another country
That made of rubber also
And she picked it up
And she go another country
Have have she found
And baby haven’t got it yet
And baby checking the excavation
Have mommy found
And somewhere deeper in the woods
And baby laughing in such a hurry
And baby in such a hurry and she going away
And baby run
And baby was too slow so mommy carried her through the woods
Mommy carried her because “wah wah wah wah wah”
And baby saw a little hook with a bench
Have mommy brought her somewhere else
Aaaand
Baby saw a little hook made of rubber
And mommy saw a little hook made of rubber
And mommy scared
And baby scared
And baby heard a noise
“WHAT????!!!!!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?” (VERY frantic tone!)
“I’M RUNNING AWAY FROM THIS NOISE!”
“THE WHOLE DINOSAURS EAT THEIR WHOLE SELF!”
And then the herbivores came and said “YOU ARE NOT AN OMNIVORE!”
“Am ashamed!... YEAH! ASHAMED!”
“AH!” They’re running away from the noise
Baby heard a noise just now
And “AH!!!!!” They running away from the noise!
“AH WAH WAH WAH WAH WAH!”
But the herbivores came and said “don’t be scared carnivores, it’s just a owl…”
And the carnivores came and EAT the herbivores!
Then there was an omnivore coming and trying to eat them
“I just cannot eat you”
The omnivore came and said, “no no no no no!”
And one omnivore came and said “YO! wuzza wuzza wuzza wizza wizza wuzza!”
And another one came and said “wizza wuzza wizza wuzza!”
The end!
And they, they lived sleeping…
And, and, and.. iguanodon came!
And iguanodon wake up and say “THAT WATER! I heard a noise! What is that?”
And they saw a owl
The others told iguanodon “IT’S A OWL!”
They used a little hook
And they lived in another country
The hook in another country
The hook for another country
Before THEY FELL!
THEY LIVED IN ANOTHER COUNTRY BY THEMSELVES!!
And the dinosaurs because of the little hook BY THEMSELVES!!
