Parent Post: Co-writing stories
As a part of our effort to improve our daughters reading and writing, we've started co-writing stories with her. We trade off writing sentences. Abby and I started ours yesterday. This was actually really fun, and didn't seem like homework to Abby, or "parenting" to me. It was more a game. I did have to do a little prodding for action instead of just reaction to what I was writing, but then she got into the swing of it with action and jokes. I think this is hilarious. Title came after we were done for the night. Abby starts off and the last three sentences are all her's because she had to finish her joke.

Dinosaur Attack
One day I was riding my bike. At first I thought it would just be a normal ride. But it was not! I went around the corner by my friend Ginny’s house, and there was a Tyrannosaurus Rex eating her dog! I was so scared I screamed “AAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!” My scream made the T-Rex turn its head toward me! I rode my bike as fast I could, but there were Brachiosaurus in my way!
“Where are all these dinosaurs coming from?” I said to myself. It was so scarey! I ducked and rode my bike under the Brachiosaurus’s legs. Then a Quetzalcoatlus grabbed me by the shoulders and flew away! Where was it taking me? I screamed “I am not food I am not food!” The giant flying reptile flew me up to the tallest skyscraper in the city and dropped me. There was eggs in the nest, was the mom and babies going to eat me? The mom flew away leaving me alone in the nest with the eggs. That was my chance to escape! Just as I started to climb out of the nest, I felt something pulling on my pants leg. It was one of the babies! It had hatched and was hungry. Then I saw the mom come back with Ginny! I kicked the baby off my leg and yelled, “Ginny! Ginny!” When Ginny got dropped down she said “What the heck is going on!?”
“I have no idea,” I said, “and I’m sorry about your dog.”  “Yeah, me too that dumb T-rex ate Bob!” said Ginny. The other baby Quetzalcoatlus were hatching. Then the mom came back again and dropped Lexie (our archenemy). 
“OMG! I hope that thing eats Lexie!” said Ginny. Lexie said “That is rude and what are you two doing in here and what am I doing here?”
“We don’t know, but we better figure out a way down before these baby things eat us or the mom comes back,” I said.
Then one of the babies tore a piece of Lexie’s skirt off and Lexie had a meltdown, screaming “OMG THIS IS BRAND NEW, blah blah blah…!” Then I looked at one of the babies and said, “She can be nuts sometimes.” The baby nodded!
