Scarry Dream

This reoccurring child-hood dream of a chopper with a purple fringed awning suddenly came to life this evening. I was reading to my kids from my favorite bedtime book I unearthed in my old bedroom at my Mum's house; Richard Scarry 'Cars And Trucks And Things That Go' (1974). There it was, as mad as any Bosozoku bike that made the trip into reality. And I wondered if my own kids would start their own animal bike gang in their tiny minds instead of counting sheep? BP

    Funny you should mention this book. We have read this book so many times for our oldest son (favorite vehicle the cucumber car). We even unintentionally kinda named our second son after Goldbug (Gusten Guldbagge in Swedish.)
