Thomas the train overload

So Will in is a Thomas phase...and has been for a while. In order to cope I've started to imagine the engine's "toot-toot" and "choo-choo" noises as censorship bleeps...and suddenly the show is much more interesting. At least the adventurous engines keep him busy in the cold dark afternoons while I'm getting dinner ready like a good mum/reaching a deeply vegetative state where lax parenting principles run amok. Very short days here for those of us acclimatised to winters in southern Canada. The sun is setting at 4:00 here right now. Yup. 4:00. A big "toot-toot" to that!
