Prince Michael Does it Again...

At our house, we're into bedtime stories. Well, Jesse is anyway. So I created Prince Micheal, a strapping young lad who always does what's right. (My silly attempt to give the boys a fictional character to admire and look up to, who is actually a GOOD role model. ) So that's Prince Michael's thing; he always does what's right. So once I describe the situation, I like to ask Jesse what Prince Michael could do, without spelling out the options. Half the time he comes up with a good alternative solution that I would never have considered. It's really fun to see how his mind works to solve moral problems, and how he so naturally tends to think outside the box. So back to the story.
Tonight Matt took over the story, and as it always does when he tells them, the story became really funny and interesting. Prince Michael was out fishing with King Greg, who was teaching him how to fish. Prince Michael and King Greg were catching lots of big fish, and were ready to quit when they caught one last teeny-tiny little baby fish. The baby's mommy fish swam to the water's surface and begged the heroes (in a pitiful girl voice, of course) not to take her baby and eat him because she loved him so much.
It was there that Matt asked Jesse what Prince Michael was going to do. Jesse hesitated for the slightest second, laughed out loud and shouted, "He made FISH STEW!" (Laughter erupted, and bedtime was over. Goodnight, boys.)

King Greg- funny! I'm sure Greg will get a kick out of that one even if it wasn't intentional that you named the character after him.
