Revenge of the Pink Caboose
It's an inside joke, so if you don't get it, don't worry. When reading to Jasmin the other night the story A Bela Adormecida (Sleeping Beauty), I came upon a line mentioning that the sleeping princess was lying on a golden bed. However, the helpful drawing in the book did not show any part of this bed to have a golden color. In fact, it was entirely pink with pink sheets, pink pillows, and a pink blanket. Now, there may have been somewhere in this bed something made of gold, but if so, it was not shown anywhere in the illustration. Of course, every time I come to the line saying that the princess was lying on a golden bed, Jasmin is quick to correct, "the bed is pink, Dad." Those who get the joke may remember a similar caboose many years ago....

Our dear Jasmin is indeed quite a bit like her dad! Continued blessings in your parenting, Sim. :0)
oh i remember as a kid being really confused by illustration/story mixups. Right here it says that Charlie has red hair... so why is he blonde in the picture... maybe it's charlie's friend...? Hm.. maybe it's just to keep kids on their toes! :)
HA! That's hilarious! Somewhere, an editor is deeply embarrassed.
