Idon’twanna
she: babygirl, it’s time to put your shoes on.
babygirl: I don’t wanna. I don’t wanna. I don’t wanna. I don’t wanna. I don’t wanna. I don’t wanna. I don’t wanna. I don’t wanna.
topspun: Do you want to hear the story of the little girl named “Idon’twanna”?
babygirl: Yeah!
topspun: There once was a little girl named Idon’twanna. In the morning, her Mommy came in to wake her up, and said “Idon’twanna, it’s time to wake up.” The little girl said “I don’t wanna.” Then it was time to eat breakfast, and her Daddy said, “Eat your breakfast now, please.” But the little girl said “I don’t wanna.” Then it was time to go to outside to play, so her Mommy said “Put on your shoes and coat,” but the little girl said “I don’t wanna.” At lunch time, her Mommy made her a sandwich, and said “Eat your sandwich now,” but the little girl said “I don’t wanna.” Then it was time to take a nap, and her Daddy said “Nap time! Time to get in bed.” The little girl said “I don’t wanna.” After nap time, they were all going to go to the park to play, but the little girl said “I don’t wanna.” At dinner time, her Mommy said “Sit in your chair and eat your dinner please,” but the little girl just kept saying “I don’t wanna. I don’t wanna. I don’t wanna.” Then dinner was over, and the little girl tugged on her Mommy’s pants and said “Can you give me some ice cream?” Her Mommy looked down, and replied “I don’t wanna.” So the little girl named Idon’twanna went to bed without any ice cream or any dessert at all. The end.
babygirl: That’s a very sad story.
That’s the best story I’ve read all year. I’ll be sure to remember it for our story time in the near future.
Happy New Year.
