We were watching ‘Curious George’ post nappy-change this evening (yup, we have this deal/bribery these days), when the ‘pa(s)ta’ for supper was ready.  Thomas climbed off the sofa and went to the kitchen with nofuss.  When we  put his dish on the table, however, Thomas had other ideas. ‘TV, TV’ he repeated, picking him his [...]
