Just hear those sleigh bells jinglin', ring ting tinglin' to

Ga-Ga and Nai Nai (Ryan's parents) gave Benson a singing Penguin for Christmas. Once activated it will sing in a rather loud voice "Just hear those sleigh bells jinglin', ring ting tinglin' to", then after the first line it starts bouncing and you can hear it's joints popping with each move.

Benson smells danger when this happens, and shys away from Mr Penguin, giving him the 'death stare' and recoiling to safe ground by an adult.


Tonight, Benson decided that Mr Penguin needed to be dealt with once and for all...and so he proceeded to get his baseball bat from his room and brought it to me, so I could be the Penguin killer. When I refused to do the deed, B took the bat from me and reached out and pushed the penguin over.


He dropped his bat and clapped for himself. Hmmm problem solved.

On you Benson! Next time you come to Australia bring that bat with you and you can deal with a "singing dog" very near me.
Love, Grandma D

This is story reminds me of Amity being petrified of the 'bouncing tigger' :)

Good to see BB can take of himself though!
