Meeting Benny

When we traveled to Europe during the summer of 2006 we found a store during a layover at a train station that sold very life-like puppets. It was Bob's "splurge" for that trip. When he was packing up his classroom for the summer last week he brought home "Benny". Benny Hauptbahnhof. The name "Benny" came with the puppet. We were trying to think of a last name and nothing seemed to fit. I finally suggested "Hauptbahnhof". His name literally means "Benny from the train station". Etta seemed to find him fascinating and I'm sure that he'll come out and play more often this summer.

Hi, my name is Etta. What's your name?



Is that your nose?



That's my nose!



I can give kisses. Let me show you.



Mwwwwwaaaaaaaaaa.
