Meeting famous people

Today we met Andy Griffiths, author of edifying kids books like Just Disgusting, and What Bumosaur is that. He was at a council library, sponsored by our local ABC radio station.

It was all very exciting. Nathan loves AG's books, he loves to talk, he loves and audience and he loves listening to Kelly Higgins-Devine on ABC radio. This afternoon, all of these loves met. He got to meet AG, meet his favourite radio personality and talk to a huge audience on the radio about AG's books. All good.

But what did he say? All the normal stuff- name, age, favourite book, favourite part of the book... Here's where things got a bit tricky. Nathan, in his innocence, couldn't say what his favourite chapter of his favourite book was called because it used the 'c' word. The announcer didn't quite know what to say at this point. Should she push him to say it? Best not. Just in case.

Bless him. It was all pretty funny. The chapter was called 'A terrible Christmas and a crappy new year.'

Micah (age 5) got to ask Andy a question a little later. He asked 'Why do you write rude books?' He meant to say 'disgusting' but couldn't get the word out. 'Rude' is almost the same.
