Soccer Sally

Once upon a time there was a girl named Sally, and she was nine years old...

This is how my night-time mother story begins for Abbie. The rest of the story would be about Sally and how much she enjoys playing soccer and what a good game she played that day...


...how she played a good defense...


...and about how she and her friend chatted for a bit when there was no action coming their way...



...but mostly it would be about what a great soccer player Sally is and how much she enjoys playing the game...


And every time I tell a "Sally" story, Abbie asks, "That's really me, isn't it?" and I just smile at her and give her a kiss and tell her "Good night"...
