My Grandmother is the best grandmother in the whole world according to the eyes of an eight year old. Grandpa agrees that she is a mighty fine women in touch with telling “THE WHOPPER” that is how he puts it. At my tender age, I never knew what he meant about “The Whopper.” I am much older now and realize that my grandmother bless her heartall the childhood stories to make them fit the era in which we lived. would change Grandmother had several whoppers to tell but the one I believe was one of my favorites and I still tell it in Grandmothers special way. See if you can tell which childhood story, I am retelling.

Once upon a time, a cute little blonde girl had lots of curls and baby blue eyes. This little girl named Brenda well loved by everyone with her kind gentle ways. Everyday about noon her nanny took her to the play park to have lunch and play on the park equipment. The nanny of course would be able to talk to her friends socializing with other nannies at that time. The park surrounded by a forest of beautiful trees, which Brenda cautioned knew not to follow any paths that might lead her in to the forest. The forest was enchanted with magic and strange things could happen to a small child like her. Brenda usually always listened to her nanny and she was afraid of the strange forest. Sometimes she dreams the trees followed her home and that scared her even more.

Today was a beautiful sunshiny day and Brenda looked forward playing in the play park with all her friends. The nanny was anxious to get there as well to find out more about the Thompson new butler. She liked him and thought him handsome wanted to know if he was married etc. The nanny for the Thompson household was scheduled to be there with little Jacob. She arrived a bit early and set up the picnic lunch for herself and Brenda and they began to eat when Maggie arrived with Jacob. The two nannies began chatting instantly and when the children declared they were ready to go play both nannies simply waved them on without any instructions. Brenda was playing on the monkey bars when a beautiful butterfly flits her way right close to her little blue eyes. She jumped off the monkey bars and began chase. Jacob who saw this began to run with Brenda as they both gave chase down the path that led straight into the enchanted forest. Before the children realized it, both were in the middle of the enchanted forest and lost. Brenda began to cry but Jacob comforted her and told her that he was sure the nannies would be by soon and find them. Jacob concluded we would all have a big laugh about this and go straight home.
