Quotable John Christopher

Here, I will attempt to recreate this conversation.

The context is that the boys were given a Bob the Builder sleeping bag from the kids down the street. John Christopher has taken it as "his own" and has left Miles without a sleeping bag. Julie says to the boys that we should look online to order a sleeping bag for Miles, perhaps a Thomas the Tank Engine one or even a NASCAR one.

Julie: Here's a NASCAR one Miles, come see what you think.

Miles: I like it.

John Christopher (to Dad who's in the kitchen): Dad, Mom's found a NASCAR sleeping bag online.

Dad: Really, where did she find it?

John Christopher: Sleeping Bags. com


This may have been the funniest thing he's ever said. Unfortunately, it may not read that funny. By the way, I think she was on eBay.

if this isn't funny, it's only because the person reading it has not been to your house and met mr. jc.

i'm really laughing pretty hard. and it's 2:40 in the morning here. i should be asleep, not laughing.
