Our cover's blown!

Damn and blast! Nosey old people sticking their noses into other people's business!

We had this scam going and now our cover's blown!

Bax loves malls. Obsessed. Sometimes the first thing he says when he wakes up is "Shop". And when we take him to these malls he heads straight for the litle cars and trains and things they have dotted around that you put money in and they jiggle and puff steam and wotnot. But we never put any money in, so he's never known that they do all that other stuff and he's happy just sitting in them (Nana Anna did give hima proper ride once at Heathrow but that was a year ago) Since then we've had this great thing going where he just thinks yhose rides are for sitting in and that's all! Until yesterday...

He was sitting in the Thomas the Tank Engine at Lynmall (although he calls it Tom Train) and he was loving it, saying "Choo Chooo beep beep" . and after a bit G said 'Come on let's go' and he hopped down and just at that moment a little old lady tottered up flapping a $2 coin at G saying "Oh plase let him have a turn, my husband and I have been watching him and we've been enjoying it so much that we'd love to see his face on the REAL ride". So she popped the $2 in the ride and off Bax went.

Well, the ride went puff puff puff and jiggled crazily and puffed steam and hooted and Bax was in absolute heaven! Goddammit! And the two oldies sat across from him and laughed and laughed at his big glowing smile beaming at them.

Well that's done it now hasn't it!!??? We'll never be able to walk through the mall agin without Bax wanting more than just to sit in the rides - now he'll expect the whole fireworks!
