What's your name?

We sat on the train and as it pulled away from East Croydon station a huge pair of eyes came and squatted on the seat opposite the Gorse Fox.

They blinked and peered round.

"What's your name?" asked the eyes and then one by one he pointed at each person nearby and asked their name. He shuffled and tried to climb on the seat, but settled back down.

"Have you got Spiderman?" asked the eyes? and again one by one he repeated the question to each of us. The lady next to the Gorse Fox was called Jo apparently, and she didn't have Spiderman. She did however have a cup of tea.

"Is that a cup of tea?" asked the eyes. She confirmed that it was. "I like tea" said the eyes, "do you mind if I join you?"

And so the questioning continued for the following 90 minutes until the 4 year old owner clambered off the train at Worthing with his mother, baby sister and 7 year old brother (who'd bee sitting in the next bank of seats).
