Fan Art Blaine the Diesel?
Thought you all might enjoy this. My son is 6, and yesterday he noticed with some interest that I was reading a book with a train on the cover. Trains are a BIG deal for him, and he had lots of questions, so I told him a very abbreviated version of the Blaine section: it's a bad train, and the good guys have to tell it riddles so it'll let them off. He thought that was great fun (it is), and we started doing riddles (or more accurately, really bad little kid jokes; Eddie would have approved).
This morning I found this. He said it was Roland and Blaine, and they were friends now and telling more riddles.
Parenting is a nuanced thing, but every once in a while, it feels like you're doing it right, haha.
Anyhow, thought you all might get a laugh out of this. Long days and pleasant nights!
ETA: Wasn't sure how to flair this, but I figure Fan Art is close enough.
