Setting the scene: Flora and Scout are sitting at the table. Flora is "writing a story" -- meaning she is drawing pictures and making up a story out-loud to go with the pictures.
Flora: [telling her story] One day, Flora walked outside and a beautiful butterfly landed on her shoulder. She went for a walk with the butterfly and the butterfly TALKED to her.
Scout: And then came the giant! FEE FIE FO FUM!
Flora: NO, SCOUT! There are no giants in this story because giants are pretend and this story is real. [continuing her story] And the butterfly talked to Flora and they went on a walk all by themselves with no parents.
Scout: And then came the giant! FEE FIE FO FUM!
Flora: NO, SCOUT! This is my story and there are no giants in my story. Just butterflies.
Scout: FEE FIE FO FUM!
Flora: NO, SCOUT! [continuing her story] So they walked all by themselves and the butterfly talked to Flora and then they came home and they were best friends.
Scout: And then came the giant.
Flora: [sigh] Yes, Scout, and then came the giant.
Scout: FEE FIE FO FUM!
