Okay, so despite having spent the better part of the evening glued to my television set and despite having a boatload of comments on tonight’s town hall-style presidential debate, I am going to write about something even nearer and dearer to my heart than politics: Thomas the Tank Engine.
You see, every night before bed, Gavin and I go to thomasandfriends.com to “play Thomas games” before he goes to sleep. It’s part of our nighttime routine – and a critical one at that. Well, tonight, when I went to the Thomas the Tank Engine website, I found that the site was down!
How could such a thing happen? Don’t they have backup measures in place? Don’t they understand the perils they place parents in with such negligent website maintenance?
Apparently, they have never encountered a two-year old who expected Thomas the Tank Engine, only to receive “The webpage cannot be found.” I have. And I’ll tell you this – it ain’t pretty.
I promise to give my commentary on tonight’s debate once my Thomas-induced anger settles down. In the meantime, I’m crafting a nasty letter to HIT Entertainment.
Oh man! My kids have freaked when stuff like that happens, too. It’s not pretty.
Why is it we always get angrier over things that upset our children? :/
Ah, Thomas the Train. My guy would have been devastated, and a T the T video marathon would have ensued!
