This is our conversation today as we cuddled for a few minutes:
Wendy: Lincoln, would you tell me a story?
Lincoln: I can't read a story. I too small.
Wendy: No, not READ. I want you to make up a story to tell me.
Lincoln: (pause...thinking)
Wendy: Who would be in your story?
Lincoln: God
Wendy: Who else?
Lincoln: Jesus
Wendy: So God and Jesus are in your story. What are they doing?
Lincoln: Playing soccer
Wendy: God and Jesus are playing soccer in your story? Who wins?
Lincoln: Jesus. He has 2 goals.
Wendy: What about God?
Lincoln: He just has 1 goal **
Wendy: Then what do they do?
Lincoln: God and Jesus play softball with me at dad's softball game
Wendy: Who wins?
Lincoln: Me.
Wendy: You beat God and Jesus?
Lincoln: Yeah, I do.
**in case you are wondering, Lincoln and Kobe and Stephen watched the US team play Ghana in World Cup Soccer (score: Ghana-2, US 1)
Wendy: Lincoln, would you tell me a story?
Lincoln: I can't read a story. I too small.
