Tiny Talk Tuesday-The Little Engine That Could

One of my favorite stories came in the mail the other day. It is a classic called, "The Little Engine that Could." So, we all sat excited while I broke open the plastic and then heard the crisp sound that you hear when you open up a brand new book. It was glorious! So, I started to read with great animation and all. My littlest started to get annoyed and distracted. As animated as I got it still seemed to make no difference. Finally she said, "This story is BORING." I said, "Why?" She responded, "All you have is a train, then another train, and another train. IT IS BORING." I told her she needed to wait for the great ending so she reluctantly complied. After the story was finished I asked them what their favorite parts were to which she replied "the end when the children get their toys! The other parts were too boring!"

Now my oldest and I enjoyed the suspense of wondering if this next train will help them? Why did they not help? Who would come to help? But apparently this is too much for a slightly ADHD mind. She just wants the short sweet facts. Interesting I tell you and something I will need to get used to. Maybe she will grow out of it. :)
