Enjoying Old Stories

Enjoying some old videos...

At dinner last night we were telling the girls a funny story about how Maile used to say “Vah-milla” when she asked for ice cream. We were laughing about it and then I asked Maile if she remembered how I used to pretend that I was going to order all these funny/crazy ice cream flavors. She, of course, didn’t remember this.

But, of course, nowadays that isn’t a problem because we have videos of everything! A quick search and we found the one in question:

(Bonus points because it turns out Maile is just around Lauren’s age in that video.)

Dad note: I its mostly good that we are able to do this, but I’m sure there are some downsides. It does remove some of the “story” part of the “storytelling” I think – harder for these tales to run away from you and take on a life of their own when you have the hard video evidence. Still noodling on what all that means – immensely interesting to me – to consider another time…
