I woke up laughing at 6:30 this morning, listening to John call out "Moominpapa!!"
The Moomins are a set of Finnish characters who actually are a family of trolls that are white and roundish and look like hippopotamuses. They of course live in Moominvalley.
My Aunt Barbara LOVES the Moomins (to the point that she has extended an open offer that if any her nieces or nephews name any of our children "Moomintroll" she will pay for them to go to college. But it must be their legal name and we must call them by it -- no trickery.)
Joanna (John's nanny) grew up watching the Moomins and now she and John watch episodes together on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiZ0eBFTH6k). In one episode, Moomintroll wakes up mid-winter and calls out for Moominpapa.
So there was John this morning, calling out for Moominpapa! So funny...MoominPAPA! MOOminPAPA! MOOMINpapa!!
