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!"

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.
