From the mouths of Babes...
 
Kids say the most amazing things...
Son #1 (Sidney) just made the observation, as I was tucking him into bed, the following...

"How come the Simpsons on TV drink Duff beer, and in the war Simpson's donkey was called "Duffy". Isn't that funny!" :eek:

He's right. I'd never made the connection before! For those international readers who do not know about our WW1 "Simpson & his donkey", check it out here.

What's a fine thing, Howard, is that the lad knows enough about 'Simpson and his donk' to make the connection. You have done a good job, sir.

Thanks Howard for the link to John Sinpson. It's a very interesting story of a courageous man. I thought Canada was the only country whose military didn't always recognize heroism.
