Lying King Meets a Cookie
[a classic And-Then Children's Story]


Once upon a time, Lying King met a cookie.
AND THEN

He asked the cookie, "Who are you?"
AND THEN

The cookie said, "I am not a who. I am a what."
AND THEN

"What is a what?" asked Lying King.
AND THEN

"I am a what? What are a you?"
AND THEN

"I'm a Lying King and I never lie."
AND THEN

"Okay," said the cookie. "Then I will eat you." CHOMP!
AND THEN

"You can't eat me." said Lying King.
"I can do karate." CHOP!
AND THEN

"No you can't. You said you never lie
and everyone lies once and a while.
so you must be lying."
AND THEN

Lying King did karate –
because he had learned it at
Baby Monster School –
and the cookie crumbled.
AND THEN

Have fun,
– Josie (and dad)

Math Stories
(have fun creating your own problems)


I have $50,
so I went for a walk in the forest and I discovered a dragon.
It was nice that the dragon didn't eat my leg,
but not so nice because he ate $20.

Now I have $30,
so I walked into town and went to the the supermarket
because I needed broccoli for my dinner.
That cost me $1.

Now I have $29,
so I went to H&M to buy a dress that had a bow by the neck.
It was gold and there was glitter on it.
It only cost $9 because it was on sale.

Now I have $20,
so I went to the candy store and I bought two red licorice sticks,
two bags of gummy bears, and one ice cream cone
(vanilla with chocolate chips)
and that cost $7.

Now I have $13,
so I took the bus home which cost $13.

Now I have nothing.

Have fun spending your own money,
– Josie

Happy New Year


There is garbage everywhere.

Last night everyone was shooting fireworks.

This morning, I woke up,
looked out my window
and saw trash.

Used fireworks.

Sticks and paper.

Empty bottles.

Happy New Year.

Have fun,
– Josie
