Working out book day and Thing 1 aspires to be a Womble

World book day.... Which clever sausage came up with that one,eh? Don't mention it to me ever again! 

It began like this;

Me: 'let's not be predictable and seuss and Thing based'

Thing 1; but I want to be Thing 1!

Me; how about you be where's Wally?

T1; no 

Me; what about Robin Hood?Aladdin? 

T1; no

So off I trotted, borrowed a fab tiger costume (the tiger who came to tea) and a lion costume (wizard of oz,narnia.... Endless possibilities really) ..... But the answer? no.

I offered to make a Thing wig. I was commissioned for free.

T2 saw the wig and wanted to be the same..... I didn't have enough wool..... Some gentle persuasion and T2 went as the cat in the hat.... T1 was his intended 'Thing' ...... 

Today T1 arrived home to inform me that he is now collecting food wrappers to compare calories, fat etc...... I haven't a clue where this initiative came from..... Apparently he's going to become a Womble.....

Thing 1; what's a Womble?

Me; head against brick wall.... Man, I feel old!!!!!!
