we heart roald dahl

we've been doing a lot of reading around here and are currently in a roald dahl phase. we are big fans, although eli really didn't like George's Marvelous Medicine because the grandma was so mean and he was under the impression that all grandmas were nice, like his.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was the latest, followed by a viewing of the movie (the tim burton one since it's more like the book). miles often sings the "gusses gloop" song (augustus gloop) and loves the oompa loompas. in fact he told us that he spotted one during dinner to which eli replied, "miles, oompa loompas are not in this history with real people."

just for fun, what does miles call oompa loompas?
a) luca papas
b) loopy loopas
c) oompa loompas

I should have an advantage to this since I was just with him and probably heard him say oompa loompas, buuuut I'm going to tentatively go for answer b for the win.

The correct answer is: d) ALL OF THE ABOVE, at various progressions of his interpretation of the word.

Hahaha. I love reading what you write, Becca. You are so funny and I miss you being in my history.
