Just got off the phone to my three and a half year old daughter. conversation went like this....
'Are you looking forward to coming up to Daddies workshop to see the old steamy go past?' (refering to the Peppercorn class loco that is coming to town this evening)
Silence followed by a sigh
'Daddy. Don't be silly. Its not a steamy. Daisy (her younger sister) calls them steamies but she is just a silly baby and doen't know any better. Its a peppercorn train and its going to Bethlehem, not your workshop! Mummy says stop talking on the phone and don't be late'
Bless em
