MALASKA a laughing story!


When Conner D was last at our house he was reading the phone book... then he found a National Geographic. He sat on my lap and we looked at all the beautiful pictures together. He became quite fascinated with an article about the polar bears in Alaska. As we were looking at the pictures I told Conner a wonderful story about the polar bears.
...Conner D left Foley and went to Alaska to search for polar bears. While he was searching he found him self a wife and her name was Elizabeth. Together they searched, and took pictures of all the different bears they found in the cold land of Alaska. They had two children. A little boy named Oscar and a little girl named Olivia. Together they were a family looking for polar bears. One day Conner D. decided he missed his family in Foley - especially his big sister JaciAnna who was still older than him...(this is another story!). So back to Foley he went, taking his beautiful wife and children with him. They brought two polar bears back to Minnesota with them, their names were Lilly and Paco. Soon they found Foley to be to small for their big bears so they moved them to their own home in St. Paul at the Minnesota Zoo.
...as I was telling this sweet little boy on my lap the story, I would change my voice and start laughing... trying to make the story more fun. He would then put his hand to his mouth and laugh also - he was enjoying the fun that I was having in telling him this great fabricated story!
...when the story was done
...Conner D looked at me with the sweetest smile and said...
"GRANDMA, YOU'RE WEIRD!"
We laughed so hard!
Then two weeks later Conner called me and he still remembered the story of the polar bears in Alaska. He was telling me that he and his daddy were singing "North to MALASKA!" as he told me he was laughing. He also told me that his daddy made PASGETTI and round meatballs for supper... and he laughed some more.
I laughed and laughed and on the other end of the phone I could hear my little boy
enjoying my fun!!
P.S. - When God hears His children laugh... He smiles!
