That's good. They'll remember it forever. (Even if the memory does lie dormant, till some passing comment wakens it.)

Of course! I knew it sounded familiar. I read this book to my first few children.

Sleepeasy commented on 01.05.07
No, from P.D Eastman's eponymous children's book. It's about a confused little baby bird that has come out of its egg when its mother wasn't there and goes in search of her. It asks this question of every creature it comes across until eventually in desperation it asks a digger – which rears its giant jaw and roars in response, lifting the shivering fledgling up high. It's a very moving book. A must-read.

Is that a line from a film?

I love the guy in the red shirt, caught in mid-stride. If there were a speech bubble, it might read "Are you my mother?"

Do you reckon those matts will ever tire of their neighbours...?

It's a Gib Monkey playground complete with trampolines!

It's a tip in both senses of the word! (Chortle)

I guess that is about as far south as those EuroMatts can crawl.
