Too much Kipper

I think I've been letting Reagan watch too many Kipper episodes.  It is such a sweet cartoon series that whenever she asks for it, I find it hard to say, "No."  You see, Kipper is a dog.  A British dog.  He has a friend named Pig.

The other day, Reagan came up to me and said, "Mommy, you are a Pig."  Luckily for Reagan, I had been listening to her playing conversation for some time, so I promptly responded, "Why thank you Kipper."  She proceeded to ask me, "Pig, have you seen my torch?"

I almost burst into laughter because we had just bought her a brand new flashlight, but to her it was called a torch.  I managed to respond, "Why, no, Kipper.  What is that you have?"

"Oh," said Kipper, "this is my clunker."  Reagan showed me a little ribbon tied around a small bow.  "You see," she continued in a very British accent, "if you have a clunker, and I have a clunker then we can play a game."

"Well that sounds rather nice," I responded.  "Yes," said Kipper, "rather."  Then she skipped off to her room to continue her search for her torch.  I heard her say to Georgie, "Arnold (that's another one of Kippers friends), would you like to play clunkers?"
