When he was little we took him to Disneyland Paris and he fell in love with Chip from Chip and Dale....

He followed them around got their autographs and was besotted with Chip...he didn't like Dale

Upon leaving we went to the giftshop to buy him a cuddly chip toy, only they were all out of Chips and only had Dales left.

So I bought the Dale and told him it was Chip .....the difference is in colour of their nose

For years and years this soft toy has been his bedtime companion he still cuddles it now......

Then on Thursday he went to the Disney shop with his girlfriend to buy her baby cousin a present and he wanted suggested a Chip

Its shocking. The shop ran out of Chips and painted the noses of some of the Sales. Terrible. (What was so bad about Dale that nobody else wanted a Dale toy either?)

Why, for the love of god, did you not colour the nose in with a felt tip??

Tell him Chip got a nose job due to pressure from the film industry.

Then when he saw the Chip and they Dale he said 'this shop has chip and dale mixed up'

That's Chip the one with the burgandy nose

His girlfriend laughed at him and pointed out no Chip is the one with the black nose

Apparently he then turned round to his his girlfriend 'my whole life is a lie'

He came back devastated that for years and years I'm convinced him soft toy was Chip when it was in fact Dale ......and his really sort of upset by it.

Moral of the story ....never lie to your kids

He did get the right one but it was very cold/warm and the nose changed colour?!

ZombieArmsDragOnTheFloor · 28/10/2012 13:20

Well, he can't have been that besotted with Chip if he didn't spot he had the wrong chipmunk. It is his own fault for being unobservant.
