Written or told by the little
sister,
nephew, or cousin, these tales are usually short or
rambling and often accompanied by a
crudely drawn picture that has nothing to do with the
plot or
characters. Easy fodder for
movie script specs. Passes the time at holiday family dinners, with most
older people carrying a look of extreme interest in the subject matter. In books and films, stories told by younger relations often have significant
foreshadowing, inevitably causing the listener to change their viewpoint on a spouse.
Due to the ease of email, i was sent this by my five year old nephew,
Alex, called "
dragonfly and the alien" (no picture attached):
Once upon a time there was an alien that hopped on her dragonfly and flew away and moved out of her house.
The end.
