If you're in the wrong story, leave

We have a stack of newly checked out picture books from the library that J. picked up the last time he took children there. I have been sitting here, wondering what to write while listening to him read to children. One of the books he read to R. I had completely forgotten about. Not only had I forgotten about it, but I had also forgotten about who much I love it. The book is Goldilocks and the Three Dinosaurs by Mo Willems. Now, this is bad enough, but at one point I loved it so much that I even wrote a blog post about it. It wasn't until J. read the last line that everything fell into place. The last line is the title of this post. It is such a good moral, don't you think?

So then I had to spend some time poking around through 3483 posts to find what I had written. (Thank goodness for search engines!) At first I thought it would be from the summer we read as many versions of different fairy tales as I could find. This summer activity came about through a Vivian Gussin Paly book I had read. Story Telling That wasn't it, but I still thought we must have read it then, so I moved on to a different post from the same time period because I remember writing about a similar message about changing your story. How Pictures Work

Nope. 

Finally I tried searching 'Goldilocks'. Finally! A Book Report And there it is if you want to read more about it. 

No, I had nothing to write about this evening, why do you ask? 

And "little chocolate filled bonbon girls" still makes me laugh. Just go read the book.
