A (machine gun) blast from the past
Jamie is doing a project at school at the moment about "toys in the past." It will end in a few weeks' time with a visit to a local toy museum.
Yesterday as part of his learning, Jamie was required to interview me on the subject. In a White Stuff exclusive, here is a transcript of how it went:
Question 1
Did you have a favourite teddy?
I found out
Daddy had a teddy bear called Ted which he loved.
Question 2
Did you play with toy cars?
I found out
Toy cars in the olden days were called Matchbox cars and were made out of metal.
Question 3
What was your favourite toy?
I found out
Daddy's favourite toy was a toy machine gun. His daddy also liked it so took it apart with a screwdriver to see how it worked. It never worked again, making Daddy cry.
I've never gotten over it.
