CTTS: Too many stories
Obviously, I've been telling my kids too many fairy stories with trolls in them. The other day Monika was crossing the San Mateo bridge with the kids. Since there were three of them in the care, she did not have to pay the toll. As soon as Niel saw they were going around, and not through the toll booths he pops up" "Hey, how come we don't have to stop and pay the bridge trolls?" No kidding! Larry |

Too many stories
Heh heh - Joseph makes the same "mistake" on purpose - we must pay the troll
in order to get into the kitchen, up the stairs, etc. It involves putting a pretend coin into the "troll's" ear. We do love stories with trolls in our house... -Shannon "Larry McMahan" wrote in message ... Obviously, I've been telling my kids too many fairy stories with trolls in them.

Larry If you're ever in Seattle, check out the troll under the Aurora bridge (in Fremont). There's a huge statue there, and it's about to eat a VW bug! -- Emily mom to Toby 5/1/02 Scheherazade, stillborn at 20 weeks, 3/2/04 |

Too many stories
This sounds similar to misused words in my family (intential now, mistake
the first time). For example, the car has a de-frogger to unsteam the back window. My brother and I are now grown up (as much as any of us are grown-ups) but we still call it the de-frogger, which he named when he was reasonably little. -- Melissa (in Los Angeles) Mum to Elizabeth 4/13/03 "Larry McMahan" wrote in message ...

A street 2 blocks from our house is "Trowbridge Street." My husband simply refers to the invisible bridgekeeper there as a Trow. He's older than Niel. :^) |
