My son and I couldn't walk over a bridge together without him saying 'trip trap trip trap'. He always refers to seagulls as varmints because of The Lighthouse Keeper's Lunch. The vocabulary in this book had a huge impact. One day when the hardware shop didn't have what I wanted my son said in a soft voice 'lackaday, lackaday' and the man serving me couldn't see him because he was about four and not tall enough to see over the counter. The man got such a shock and I was hoping the floor would open up and swallow me. I have an older daughter too and my son used to come and say 'she's doing a Ruby' and he still does even now they are adults when she is trying to over organise him. He does share so many of Max's characteristics though!Kinderbookswitheverythingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3619064257976283368.post-24299836264739534982013-07-31T16:27:15.490-04:002013-07-31T16:27:15.490-04:00I thought you were joking when you said it was rai...I thought you were joking when you said it was raining on one side of the train.husbandnoreply@blogger.com
