Our local drugstore has an excellent toy department, and I often let Danny purchase a small toy when we are there. Today, he selected a large bag of yellow and red plastic firefighters.
We returned home, and he was happily playing with his firetrucks and new firefighters when I heard him yell:
"Ring up the fire brigades, we have to save St. Paul’s."
He had a plastic bowl inverted over Mega Blocks as a model of the cathedral. It was only then I remembered I’d let him watch part of a PBS documentary on the Blitz last evening.
This was almost as cool as the time he built the Berlin Wall out of blocks and had his Fisher Price Little People ramming the gate in a Tonka truck.
