All of the Sun

Last night I was tucking Abby in for bed and as usual these days, she has her choice of hearing three stories (that Jill and I make up and usually have to contain some sort of talking animal/dragon/insect) or we can read her two books. Last night she chose to hear the stories which happens 90% of the time. So I told her a story and she said "tell me all of the sun". Not knowing what that meant I inserted the words "all of the sun" somewhere in my story. "NO, when something happens - ALL OF THE SUN!" Abby said. At that point I called for reinforcements. "Jill, do you tell her a story about a sun?" "Um, what?" I think was her response. I repeated myself and got the same response. Jill then came in the bedroom and Abby said frustrated "Mommy, tell me a story with All of the Sun". And Jill smiled and said "Ohhhhh - ALL OF A SUDDEN!" I think Jill then made up a story with her swinging Abby in the tree swing and all of a sudden she flew out but of course Mommy caught her just in time.
