Black Friday Conversation

I am in the floor of the living room grading essays. OK, so I've graded only one and that happened yesterday. BUT, I am going to get them graded tonight. Anyway, Turner is having the most elaborate conversation with his cars and I thought I'd share parts of it. Forgive the lack of quotation marks.

Shoooooooo (Sally is flying)
Where did this one go?
Woo hoo (he is lining the cars up and putting them in a pattern, not just in a line)
Their making...that's my train....Mommy that's my train...the cars look like a train. They have to go back home. It is getting dark. That have to be a train another day. Sally is sad she has to leave. (whispering) Sally goes right there.
I ask: Is she back at the train?
She has to go. She not back at the train anymore.
Me: Where is she?
She leaves those guys. (inhaling air) There's a lizard in there. Oh wow. There's a lizard in there.
I'm making a train. It going to fly over that train (pointing to the red Thomas train thing). They're out of tires. They're not moving. Sally is driving the train. There she goes. She's dreaming about her wife and everything. She knows the day (he is singing).
Choo choo. All aboard. Stay here. The trucks say stay here. The crocodiles are coming. Now they are going to their house because it started raining. Come in you guys. Till it stops raining. Come in you guys fore it starts raining. They all go into the house. Uh oh (a car is pushed out the back of the house). It'll start raining. Come on guys. It's going to start raining. Sheww (exasperated; not sure why) You're pretty. Gotta get outta the rain.

[Short break to write comments on an essay. The rain is over b/c cars are coming out]

They are getting out. It is raining still. Stay in the house. That one jumped out. Is the rain over? Is the storm (sounds like morm) over? Calk (I think?). Is the storm over? Talk, talk.

Sally fell out. Sally fell out. now she has to get back in. She has to be riiiiiight there. Oh no! All the other cars fell out too (he picked up the house and they all slid out). They are going to get rain on them. Those guys going to get rain on they too.

:) I LOVE this imagination!
