"Papa"

Nora calls my dad "Papa," and now, apparently every other bearded, jeans/overalls/suspender wearing older male is Papa too. Case in point, "Grandpa Crank" on Higgly Town Heros. Now, I realize that writing this post outs me as (1)letting Nora watch tv (and Disney at that) and (2) having an ancient and dust-covered tv, but I will try to get past those embarassments...

The Higgly Town heros are animated, bouncing, Americanized versions of the Russian nesting dolls (which according to my indepth Wiki research, are called 'Matryoshka' - Ash, is that right?). Grandpa Crank lives on a farm, which probably adds similarity to the real Papa. Interestingly, Nora also calls her little overall-wearing, plastic 'Old Macdonald' toy Papa as well... There is a theme here...

Here are some pictures of Grandpa Crank, aka Papa:



Dad, I think it is an honor for Nora to name Disney characters after you ;)
