We went to 'Wake up Daddy!' this morning and Felix did his usual bouncing on the bed and then wanted to be tucked up so he could pretend to sleep. He'd snuggled himself under the duvet and Rob noted, 'Aaaah, I see The Claw has made it into the bedroom'.
A quick explanation is needed: The Claw is a small teddy bear that Rob won in a machine in a service station and gave to Felix. He used a metal claw to pick it up, hence the name.
Rob threw the teddy onto the bed next to Felix: 'It's THE CLAW!' Felix turned, pointed at the bear's nose and said, 'Cock'. We fell about laughing and then Rob told him: 'It's called Claw, Felix'.
The following exchange between Father and son then took place:
'Cock'
'Claw'
'Cock!'
'Claw!'
'COCK!'
'CLAW!'
'COCK! COCK! COCK!'
I was no help whatsoever because I was trying not to choke with hilarity. The whole episode ended with Felix merrily prancing around the bed singing, 'Cock, cock, cock!'
The Claw will not be accompanying us to Playgroup today.
