"I Love You, Children" by Julia

JULIA: Do you know what, Mama? They were throwing fits...
ME: Who was throwing fits?
JULIA: Kids who we don't know they were throwing fits but do you know what their names are? Uh, the girl is Lila, but there's two girls, and the other one is named Michaela. And they didn't want to go to the star place, so their parents just went to the star place, and they were worried.
ME: What's a star place?
JULIA: It's a place where you get stars for dessert and toy stars. Until, in bedtime they were worrying that a big hungry bear was visiting, but they woke up and it was just their parents! And they just sleep in bunk beds, so they both got up.
ME: Wow!
JULIA: And can you say 'is there anything else?'
ME: Okay. Is there anything else?
JULIA: Yes! And they were coloring in their beds because they couldn't fall asleep. And they wanted to go out to the star place in the morning. And guess what was for Lila's birthday? A big Christmas set! And do you know what a Christmas set is? It's something where all Christmas stuff falls out of the Christmas tree, and you enjoy trying to CATCH them, and you CATCH them in your hands! And then you play with them. And do you know what? For uh, uh, Michaela's birthday, she got a big AIRPORT! A pretend one. With LOTS OF AIRPLANES! But they're not pretend people. They're real people.
ME: That's great!
JULIA: Wait! There's more! And they played with their new toys from their birthday party, and they played with their mommy's earrings. But do you know why they played with their mommy's earrings? Because she lets them play with them. And they also played with their bowls. And that's the end of the story. And do you know what, Mama? Lila has a little ponytail in her hair, and Michaela has a little underbraid in her hair. And that's the other end of that story.
