Yesterday the Captain got some new Thomas The Tank Engine stickers for his bedroom walls, to join the Buzz Lightyear stickers he already has.

Overheard at bedtime:

Captain: Goodnight Percy! Goodnight Sir Topham Hat! Goodnight Clarabel!
Sirmonkeypants: Goodnight everyone!
Captain: Goodnight Buzz! Goodnight other Buzz!
Sirmonkeypants: When we say, “Goodnight everyone,” it covers everyone who we didn’t mention by name.
Captain: Goodnight Henry!
Sirmonkeypants: And now we say, “Goodnight everyone!” and that is everyone else.
Captain: Goodnight Gordon! Goodnight Cranky!
Sirmonkeypants: Gordon and Cranky and everyone else are covered by, “Goodnight everyone.”
Captain: Goodnight Mr. Conductor!
Sirmonkeypants: GOODNIGHT CAPTAIN.
