Conversation between Charles and Jack this morning:
‘Dad, look at my shopping’. Charles looked and saw that Jack had filled up his shopping cart (trolley in the UK) with his toys.
‘I got an axe, and I got a sword’, Jack said.
‘Wow, this looks like a pretty violent shopping trip’, Charles remarked.
Jack ignored this comment and proceeded on. ‘And I got a ball and a bunny for Theo’.
Just as Charles was ready to praise Jack for this kindness, Jack added, ‘I really think of my brother, don’t I?’ And Charles thought, yes, but I hope it’s just in regards to the second set of things in your cart, and not the first ones too.

I sympathize with Theo. As a younger sibling, I was often the victim of this type of abuse.
Well, Jack would have fit right in with the re-enactment of the Battle of Hastings today.
I am sure he was going to use the weapons to protect his brother:>)
