Molly Ice Skating today

Molly decided suddenly that she wanted to go try ice skating.  It wasn't a disaster.  She didn't fall and she made a friend there.

The Ducky and the Rose

Molly told me a story that I recorded on March 4th.  I've finally transcribed it (as exact as I could pull off):


The Ducky and the Rose
By Molly Adams

Freddy the Ducky lives in a pond
He likes to swim and play with his friends

But One day a delivery person came 
And he gave Freddy the duck and his duck friends a magic rose

Everyday when you smell it, you get good luck

The rose took them on an adventure
It took them to queen Elenore
The rose was given to Freddy by the queen
She said, "I want you to go on a very fun journey"
It was a journey to get her a mirror 
That granted five wishes
It was hidden in a sunken ship

So they walked and swimmed and walked and swimmed and walked and swimmed
He was starving
So, he asked a little kid
And the little kid said "no, this is my pretzel"
And then he asked a woman, but she said "No, this is my bun"
And then he asked a fruit seller
And the fruit seller said "sure" and he said "what food would you like?"
And Freddy said, "I want a grape,"

And he gived him a grape!

And then he started to go off on the long journey with his friend.
And the rose.

But, something bad was happening. There was a Troll Bridge.
It was a log
He didn't have time
And they called each other silly names
But when they were busy calling each other silly names, then he just went through.

After he crossed the troll bridge, he found the sunken ship
But, it wasn't sunken, but it was on the beach
(the ship bumped into a rock and got broken and washed up on a beach)

He went in and a little bit of spooky stuff happened
There were spiders and wolves
And prairie dogs
Bad things happened in there

And the rose told him... “Make them distracted”
so
The prairie dogs got a bone, the spiders got a new home, and the wolves got some bones too
So then they tiptoed while those kids were having fun (the kids weren't their kids)

They came to a hole and there was a treasure there
And they found the mirror

This is what bad happened.
The boat started to rock and rock and came into the sea
But something bad happened… it sunk!
But, good he was a duck!
But poor all those wolves and prairie dogs and spiders…
But he was alright, cause he paddled onto shore.
But, he helped them up too!

They didn’t drown, but it was going to be hard to cross the Troll Bridge
That’s cause the trolls were tiptoing inside.
But, he had a better [?], he jumped on top of it and just walked on top.

The prairie dogs and the wolves and the spiders just followed him everywhere, even in his balloon!
There were four balloons and there was four [sets of] animals
And they each holded their balloon and floated away, each where their home was.
Freddy got the rose and gave Queen Elenore the mirror.

And this is the five wishes she wanted:
She wanted a son
She wanted a castle (she didn’t have a castle, she just had a house)
A true love
Ducky could keep the rose forever
And be happy for the rest of his life.

And they all lived happily ever after.
The End.
