John alice and eventually Frankie pretend play transcript

the big kids really love the caterpillar transcript I took when we lived in Georgia. so I am motivated to share a transcript of John and Alice and eventually Frankie on the back deck on a summer day.


 Alice is curled up and sitting on the deck wearing a purple leotard and tutu. She presses her eyes into her bent knees. “When I see blackness I see purple that goes around and around and around. I can see inside my skin when I do that”  john is sitting next to her and assumes the same position and tries it out.

“Thats not inside your skin. It’s this skin.” They then spin off into pretend world.
 “Hey wheres’t that purple tree go?” Asks Alice.
 “And then you saw a apple tree growd at your house.”
 “Whelp- it has hands and feet and a head.”
 “And I was actually a bird turned girl turned butterfly And your mom said ‘we’re going on a treasure hunt’ and I was in a crystal.”
 “And I was like ‘mom I found a treasure!”
 “And she said ‘good and put it in a basket”
 “And the treasure cracked.”
 “Oooooh”
 “Ahhhhh”
 “And it cracked and a baby butterfly came out and you didn’t catch it.”
 “Buh buh”
 And you had a long net and you could catch the butterfly And I catched it And it got out
 Mama?
Mama?
 Mama?
Tomorrow there’ll be more of us!
Mommy!
 And your mom came and your mom and you were looking out your window and you were goin to catch going on a treasure hunt And I kicked the door and the door opened. 
And you found a crystal *Right* by the door. and you said
“mama!  I found a crystal!”
 And she said “beautiful” 
And she put it in a box.
 And she was drinking water and eating her food. 
And there was an egg on her back and I cracked it
 And a baby butterfly came out.
 ((Eating mango that Frankie cut)) Mmmm.
 Mmmmm? Mmmmm. Mm.mmm.mmm.mm.
 And I was just a butterfly and we were both at petco and I couldn’t save you because I was a butterfly and butterflies can just fly.
 And you were in a cage.
 And Frankie you were at petsmart and somebody just Buy’d me because I was a pet.
 And I was a pet
 And someone buy’d you
 And then they died
 And you were at petco and Frankie buy’d John at petsmart.
 And I was only for #20.
 And I was only for $70 I bought John(frankie)
 A- and nobody buy’d me.
 J- and I only knew how to say “seep- sop”
And I also knew how to say stop I mean goggle.
 F- I knew how to say bon jour and gaga.
 A- I knew how to say mango
 J- remember that story you told me- I’m the lizard and you are the baby.
 A- and I could say bon jour bon jour bon jour.
