Logo Recognition
He's not even 2 years old, but he's been sucked in by commercialism already! Am I talking about Thomas the f***ing Tank Engine? No!! Well, I suppose I could be...
In a local hotel yesterday after next door's little girl's christening, and the boy makes a bolt for the door. At reception he finds, at a height, the tourist information leaflets.
And this is where he does show he has somehting of his mother in him - his desire to lift every leaflet.
Anyway, from ground level he points up and shouts "Toot-toot!". Now that's his name for Thomas, and anything trains really. I had a look, I found no train.
"Toot-toot!" again. And again.
But I can't find a train, son.
So I lifted him up and asked him to show Daddy where Toot-toot is. And he pulled out a leaflet. That leaflet was a local park which happens to have a narrow guage railway. All he could see of the leaflet was the park's logo.
"Toot-toot!", he shouted as he pulled the leaflet out. Sure enough, there was a picture of the train just under the logo. He couldn't see the train as it was obscured by the leaflets in the rown in fornt, so he must have recognised the park's logo.
Today the local park, tomorrow Ralph Lauren?
