Ishika: Ma, naughty dinasaur story ma
Ishika: Ma naughty meeshu story ma..
KG: Aha! OK. Once there lived a very naughty girl. Her name was Meeshu. She went about beating all the children in the park. So all the kids decided one day to teach her a lesson. They got a big box of chocolates and ate them all up without giving little naughty Meeshu any. Meeshu was very sad, and came crying to her mother. Her mother tells her, see, naughty girls are bad girls, if you hadn’t beaten your friends in the park, they would have shared the box of chocolates with you. So from that day on, naughty Meeshu became good Meeshu.…..
Ishika: No ma. not that story. I want that story- ‘ Meeshu’s papa gets Meeshu 2 boxes……’
KG: Listen to what ma has to say, else you say your own story and go to sleep.
Ishika: OK. Meeshu’s papa gets her 2 BIG BIG chocolates. She eats them all up (some violent eating actions). The end, ma.

so here you have your answer....
I haven't seen the early parts of your blogs, but is the first of the bedtime stories for Ishika?
If yes, take print-outs of all these bedtime stories. You may have the beginnings of a story book for kids.
Have a look at a gorgeous site fro the New York Public Library (NYPL), which has recommended reading: "100 picture books everyone should know" -- great books for kids.

Happy bedtime stories, Aparna and Ishika.
Warm regards,
