“Hey LB, how was Trax?”
“Good Mum.”
“What did you do?”
“Looked around Mum.”
“Wow. What did you see?”
“Car workshops Mum.”
“Cool. What else?”
“Many many more Mum.”
“Many many more what?”
“Car workshops Mum.”
“Very cool. When are you going to start there?”
“Wednesday Mum. I’ll wear my blue onesie.”
“Maybe call it an overall there, eh LB?”
LB’s presents this year. A success. We managed to get him a die cast cattle truck that he’s wanted for the best part of this year. Very, very cool. And Eddie Stobart; The Ultimate Guide to British Trucking Legends (by Martin Roach). A full colour, hard back guide to the legend that is Eddie S. Rock and roll presents that are kind of age appropriate (or at least no Playmobile for the second year in a row).
After wrapping them up, I couldn’t resist going to check with him what he wanted for Christmas. Just to enjoy hearing him say ‘Cattle truck Mum’ again. For the last time.
“A onesie Mum”, he said. Without missing a beat.
Happy Christmas!
