What A Boy Wants For Christmas

David remembers accompanying his father out shopping in the toy department of David Jones one Christmas Eve.

Dad said, ‘What a marvelous train set. I’ll buy it.’

The girl behind the counter looked pleased and murmured, ‘Great, I’m sure your son will really love it.’

Dad replied with a glint in his eye, ‘Maybe you’re right. In that case I’ll take two.’

I have a photo, somewhere in my archives, of when I had a train set for Christmas. It shows me sitting in the middle of the circle of track and Dad, with my Uncle Sid, controlling the train.

It seems as though when Dads get sons, the dads get to have the toys they wanted as boys.

Not only boys. I always wanted a train set but my mother told me "girls don't have train sets", so when my son was old enough I bought him one.

I got a HornbyOO train set for Christmas in 1959 and still have it! My parents didn't think the fact that I was a girl mattered.

Last year our son and daughter in law bought my husband a train for Christmas, this year we have it all set up properly, with a little village as well (second childhood)
