Today, the theme of Heads or Tails is "Train." I shall take this opportunity to applaud Thomas the Tank Engine for all the hours of joy he has brought my nephew.
My niece, his older sister, was passionate about American Girl dolls for a time. I wondered what toy would similarly capture his imagination. It was the pride of Island of Sodor, loyal friend to Gordon and Henry, nemesis of the evil Diesel 10, staple of Sir Topham Hat's Engine Depot … Thomas. It's been a constant source of amusement to me -- one the of the world's great Beatle fans -- that my young nephew knows Ringo first and foremost as The Conductor.
For more information, or to play along yourself, visit the Heads or Tails Mememistress.
Thomas is a major superstar with the kids!
ReplyDeleteKiddos?? My 62 year old accountant boss just loves Thomas the train! LOL I even bought him a DVD for his birthday last year.
ReplyDeletewow, I'm impressed you know all of their names!! I have four watching and still don't know them.
ReplyDeleteI am not a big Thomas fan, my kids never got into it. But I am glad to hear your nephew found something he loves.
ReplyDeleteHappy Tuesday!

ReplyDeleteMy grandkids LOVE Thomas the Train! :)
ReplyDeleteI "met" Thomas at a train station in New Hampshire a couple of years ago but never imagined how popular he was with kids.
