It's Right Because I Can't See It

At the toy store the other day, the Gremlin found the Sodor Power Crew. Being obsessed with all things colored like fire trucks, he grabbed the closest parent he knew and showed a Friend of the Mother of the Gremlin.

"Look, it's firemen!" The MOTG's friend corrected him.

"No, that's the Sodor Power Crew." The Gremlin glared as she pointed to the package proclaiming 'Sodor Power Crew.' He stomped and shoved his finger under hers.

"Sodor Fire Crew!" The MOTG's friend  spelled out the title.

"Sodor-Power-Crew." The Gremlin growled and stomped again.

"Sodor-Fire-Crew," he put trailed his pointer finger over each word as he said them - mimicking the friends' method of forming sounds with words. The MOTG's friend corrected him again by covering up the name so he couldn't see it.

"This is the Sodor Power Crew." The Gremlin was undeterred by her 'suggestion' so he put his hand over hers and repeated himself:

"This is the Sodor Fire Crew."

As usual, the Gremlin won.
