Stop the Presses: Doobins Says No to Thomas


At preschool the other day, Doobins found himself in need of a fresh pair of underpants.

His teacher had three pair for him to choose from. All had characters on them. One even had Thomas the Tank Engine, one of his favorites.

He gave them all a pass.

“No,” he said. “I wear only pure white.”

Pure white.

His teacher enjoyed it so much that she had the story at the ready when Garnet came to pick him up at the end of the morning.
