wait, wait, wait...thomas is german?

The house is currently under construction, as we expand the upstairs to accommodate the newest member of our family. While this is going on, we've moved Kenny into the guest bedroom, and we've taken up residence in the office in the basement.

Kenny has done quite well with the change in venue, and Overboard tried to spruce up his temporary bedroom with some foam wall art of his favorite train friends.

Mr. Man was pretty psyched to see Thomas, Percy and James up on the wall. So psyched that he couldn't keep his hands off of them. Which unfortunately led to a bit of a mishap, when Kenny pulled a piece of Thomas' foam face off. The result? A bit disturbing.

See, when you take Thomas' upper lip off, and the foam behind it is black instead of gray, it looks like he has a mustache. And not a cool one. Nope, more like a Charlie Chaplin-esque one. Or, if you're us, one that makes you think of our least favorite German of all-time. See for yourself:



After a series of hysterical giggle fits, we fixed Thomas' facial hair, but Kenny later struck again. This led to the retiring of Thomas from the wall and the placing of James and Percy in unreachable positions. Such is life.
