I've already mentioned my kindergartner, 6 year-old Gemma, but what I didn't mention is her adorable use of the phrase "And Then Guess What" as punctuation to every story she tells. This is how Gemma told me about a very familiar Fairy Tale.....
(Gemma) "Last night my me-maw readed me a book AND GUESS WHAT there was a little girl named Goldilocks in it AND GUESS WHAT she had long yellow hair AND GUESS WHAT she got lost in the woods AND GUESS WHAT she got unlost 'cause she founded a bear cabin AND GUESS WHAT she founded 3 bear chairs in the cabin AND GUESS WHAT she founded 3 bear bowls of porridge AND GUESS WHAT she founded 3 bear beds AND GUESS WHAT......."
It was at that point the school bell rang and all the students, including Gemma, hurried off the bus and headed to class. Gemma never did finish the story to tell me how it ends AND GUESS WHAT... I think I already know.
