Googreev


Much to our delight, Ari has been enjoying the Wallace and Gromit short movies.
If you're going to watch something a lot, at least it's something clever and funny. Ari's favourite one is A Grand Day Out, but he also loves The Wrong Trousers (my personal fave).
Recently Ari and I were walking hand in hand to the local library when we were discussing The Wrong Trousers. He had just been playing with Rob's Feathers McGraw (pictured) figurine in the car (Feathers is the villainous penguin from The Wrong Trousers) and he said: "He's called Googreev."
I corrected him: "No, darling, he's called Feathers McGraw". But Ari was insistent. "No, he's Googreev!"
Then it dawned on me. There is a scene in The Wrong Trousers when Feathers takes off his "disguise" (amusingly, it's a rubber glove on his head to make him look like a chicken). He takes off the glove and Wallace exclaims: "Good Grief! It's you!"
Googreev = Good Grief!

It never ceases to amaze me how clever little children are.
