When Mommy tells August a bedtime story, it's usually a Prince August story. Prince August always leaves the castle on horseback, with the whole family in tow. He named all the horses. His horse is Jock (not Jaques). Lela's horse is Belle (or perhaps just Bell). Watson always rides Pinky. Daddy's horse is named Jet and Mommy's horse is Jig (and not Chartreuse).
Adventures then ensue.
Lately, he's been riding Belle and leaving Jock for Lela instead.
When Daddy tells a bedtime story, it's almost always a story about "one boy named August" and frequently ends at Fenway Park, where a most surprising announcement is heard after the 7th inning stretch:
"Ladies and Gentleman, your attention please. Now batting: the catcher, number 17... The Monkey Moon!... Auuuuuuuuuguuuuuuust FAUUUUULknerrrrrrrr!"
(and the crowd goes wild with excitement!)
