What a cutie.

Yes, and the boy is quite good-looking too.

Any kid that can smile like that after hauling around a BFG and backpack twice his size has my repect and admiration!

He actually patrols around the house, or back and forth along one side.

“Goin’ on patrol, General Dad. Be nice if you had a cup of joe waiting for me when I get back” Joe = hot chocolate in this case, but still.

What is he looking for on his patrols, AOG? Canadians?

Annoying Old Guy Monday, 26 November 2007 at 14:36

“Bad guys”. He’s not old enough to be told about the Canadian Menace.

“son, there is a barbarian race — the northeren hordes”

Indeed. With apologies to Lord Byron:

“The Canadian came down like the wolf on the fold,
And his cohorts were gleaming in purple and gold;
And the sheen of their spears was like stars on the sea,
When the blue wave rolls nightly on deep Galilee.”

that “sheen on their spear” bit is a little dodgy, given the author’s proclivities.
