Too funny.....Curious Girl had a friend sleep over in January, and I told the girls a story that I tell a variation of every night, involving a set of characters who go into a special forest where everything is wonderful and sleepy (it's more a guided relaxation than a story, but CG has gotten interested in the characters, too). her friend pronounced it not a good story because it lacked conflict. I guess the story = conflict notion is well taught in elementary school.susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12000470374101306070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-63498069675027006482011-02-13T21:36:37.001-05:002011-02-13T21:36:37.001-05:00The first conversation reminded me of a poem by Ma...The first conversation reminded me of a poem by Mark Haddon (author of "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime"), called "Go Litel Bok."
