Will English's "storm therapy"

Well, I guess he has it in his blood.

Will has started writing stories all the time. He draws a picture, then brings it to me and we outline a story about the picture. Then we come over to the computer, review our notes, and he tells me a story that I transcribe.

Anyway, I just had to post this one he wrote after hurricane Katrina. This is how a super-smart four-year-old deals with all of this:

The Nasty, Yucky Storm and Will English
by Will English

Once upon a time, Will, Will A., and Sarah were making a movie on the computer. The movie was about jumping on trampolines. Will would jump far away to every place in the world.
“Are you kidding me?” said Will.
Will A. said, “Yes. I’m kidding you.”
Will was inside, looking out the windows. “Hmmmmm…” said Will. He said “hmmmmmm” because the storm was going on outside. It went round and round and was trashing stuff and trying to eat Will’s “Darth Tater” toy.
The storm said, “Rrrrrrrrr, rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, rrrrrrrrr” going around and around all the time!
Then Will got into Flippy. Flippy is an optical mover. That makes him move/talk. Will started eating all the tools because he needed to become a robot. Eating all the tools makes the robot move, and drive, and crash into walls.
Then Will the Robot ate the storm! Will the Robot can do everything, and if it eats the storm, Will the Robot can spin around and around all the time.
Then Will the Robot spit out the storm, and the storm was eaten up. It was dead and invisible. Will the Robot had superpowers. Will’s friends are happy he has superpowers.
So Will the Robot goes inside and he sends the movie to a website called www.splashmediaplayer.com. He named the video “Jumping Trampolines and Thomas the Tank Engine.”

The End.
