Storytime


At least once a week,  I head over to my friends place where her two year old greets me with a kiss at the door, pretends I'm a human jungle gym while we eat dinner, I bathe him, he gets tossed around from bed to couch a few times, both of us giggling away, and then I read him a story. I wish this illustration by artist Yan Nascimbene had a full story that I could read from.....

How would you start a story from this picture???
