Dear Debra,
Flattery will get you everywhere :). Of course, I'd love to share the story and thanks for asking. I've never written one down before. My father would make them up as he put us to bed and then later on I made them up and told them to my first through third graders at nap time when I was a teacher. These stories are really meant to be told with funny voices and you can make them up as you go filling in the details, because the beginning and ending is always the same: Orange Pants wakes up and heads to school, he always gets captured by the Purple Villain, and he always gets sent to bed without this dinner because no one believes him. Here's one for you. Enjoy!
