As a kid , Were you told a bedtime story?
 
If so , which one?

Mokka 11-10-2016 09:56 PM

No....but for my children I did it every night... after we were done with a wide variety of children's books... we read Alice in Wonderland as the first chapter book....then through the looking glass, then all the Harry Potter books....and then The Hobbit and first two Lord of the Rings books.... I made them read the last one on their own at that time lol. But it became a family event as they got older....instead of movies or TV every night

...awww my mum always did the voices as well..:lovedup:..sometimes she would sing the story also...



...it was funny when my OH would read to the boys because reading always makes him sleepy...so sometimes when he had been gone a while, I would go up and he would be asleep with one of the boys reading to him and stroking his forehead.../having taken the book themselves to finish the story...

Wise, wise parents. Your's and you yourself LT. Admirable.

I cannot remember ever being told bedtime stories, but my mother used to sing to me until I fell asleep.

Both my wife and I, always used to tell our children bedtime stories - traditional, and ones which we'd made up ourselves.

As the children grew a little older, we actually produced a few booklets of original stories which they absolutely loved. I wrote the stories and my wife - who is a very gifted artist - illustrated them superbly.

I had some wonderfully weird characters who were a family of Troll-Dinosaur-Dragon type hybrids who lived in a little village in the Scottish Highlands. There were:

Pissy McWissy - who always had to use the toilet in the middle of running an important errand for his parents/Teachers which meant by the time he had resumed his errand, he had forgotten just what it was that they'd sent him to bring/do, and he would hazard guesses and convince himself that he'd remembered, but then invariably buy the wrong items.

Poopy McDroopy - a lovable little creature who suffered from 'flatulence' problem caused great comical situations due to 'pooping' at the worst possible time.

Sneezy McWheezy, Rosie McNosey etc.

I still have those vividly illustrated booklets - 6 of them - and friends and colleagues have often urged me to publish them through the years, but I have never got around to doing so.

Got me thinking... Might do so now. :laugh:

Go for it Kirk. From things I have read of yours you are a talented writer and it would be a shame if other children didn't get the pleasure of your stories that your children got. Hope you do it.:wavey:

I've just finished writing a bedtime story for LT to read to Marsh. It is about a henpecked little husband who is forced to always wear an apron and do all the household chores - cleaning, cooking, washing up etc - but what his monstrously overbearing wife doesn't know is, that her hen-pecked, timid little husband is leading a double life. Behind her back, he goes online onto 'sexual dating' sites and meets up with loads of different women who he makes love to like a super stud.

I've called it;

Spoiler:

Pinnie The Woo :laugh: Sorry.

Thank you Jenny love. I might well fish them out, upgrade them, and try to get them published.

Sometimes

caprimint 12-10-2016 08:32 AM

Nah, stories didn't really help me to fall asleep.

Liam- 12-10-2016 09:04 AM

My mum read me a book called Guess How Much I Love You every night, it was my favourite as a child and it actually inspired my first tattoo I got this year :love:

jennyjuniper 12-10-2016 09:05 AM

I wasn't told bed time stories, but as soon as I could read I always took a book to bed and read myself. I always told stories to my children though. Mine and their favourites were
The Wind in the Willows
All of Beatrix Potter
The Water Babies
Anyone remember the wonderfull illustrations of Winifred Lucy Atwell?

Niamh. 12-10-2016 10:36 AM

Not that I can remember but I'm not a 100% sure
