    It worked! But I gave her three presents that year: First was a stuffed fluffy toy Penguin. This confused her. Then an Airfix model of a spitfire. This really puzzled her, especially when I told her it wasn't for her - it was for the penguin. Then the flying lessons. Her father was in the RAF in WW2, but wasn't allowed to fly because of his eyesight being too poor - such people were known as a Penguins. And what happens if you give a Penguin a plane? He can fly. And so did she... She still has the penguin, now called "Leslie" after her father Leslie John, on her computer desk.

                                      I am planning on being as greedy as possible, and having as many as I can... :laugh:

                                        It worked! But I gave her three presents that year: First was a stuffed fluffy toy Penguin. This confused her. Then an Airfix model of a spitfire. This really puzzled her, especially when I told her it wasn't for her - it was for the penguin. Then the flying lessons. Her father was in the RAF in WW2, but wasn't allowed to fly because of his eyesight being too poor - such people were known as a Penguins. And what happens if you give a Penguin a plane? He can fly. And so did she... She still has the penguin, now called "Leslie" after her father Leslie John, on her computer desk.

                                          Sorry - but stuffed penguins aren't good with glue...it wasn't a pretty sight.
