Little Noddy and TwoBigEars
If you hear Little Noddy’s tinkly bell ringing
stay alert
Don’t be fooled by Ian Fleming’s old fat bloke disguise …the black clothes, the grey hair and beard
No man on the planet has ever grown up and Ian is no exception. He’s about 5yrs old now, which is quite mature for any man!
If you’ve ever connected with Ian on any social media platform, you will recognise the endearing ‘Little Noddy’ profile pic that he has used constantly for 20+yrs. Unusual, but apparently nothing about the world has made much sense since he was about 5yrs old
Little Noddy has always tried to look after Ian
Obviously there’s a story behind this…
It goes back to winning a prize at a fancy dress competition as Noddy with his big brother Peter as Big Ears. They are two of the characters from the Enid Blyton Toy Town books
Maybe Ian is just a big kid…, but he’s been learning to make friends with that inner child… Little Noddy and to look after him with all his childhood insecurities
It’s a great adventure, but turns out that it’s really Little Noddy who is looking after Ian. Inner child and adult…, they’re both innocents abroad. According to Ian they’re both very funny, but also very serious about helping everyone in toy town and having fun
It is actually a two-way street…. they really do look after each other
Hmmm…
That’s an interesting if somewhat unusual arrangement… how did that happen?
Who|Kills|Kittens?
and other Puzzles|Without|Boxes
Oh dear…
That seems to have taken a rather dark turn
That may be an example of near-diversity in action…
I don’t know if you’ve ever tried to do a jigsaw puzzle without the box lid of the picture you’re trying to assemble, but I’m sure you appreciate it would be very problematic
Who kills kittens…
…was one of the many mysteries that Ian set out to solve as a child
Doesn’t he look like a sweet untroubled child, but the truth is he had already tried to kill himself twice before this cute photo of him and his sister with the kittens was taken
One of Ian’s most important tasks as a child was hiding the kittens inside the house so that the Tom cats from the village wouldn’t kill them
A little known fact about neuro-diverse children is that many have a high degree of anxiety that often leads to suicidal ideation. If the jigsaw box has no lid, to a child it may seem that the picture they’re assembling of themselves is all wrong. They’re all WRONG
For Ian the world seemed to be a very dangerous place and his pieces didn’t seem to fit together at all. Kittens, rabbits, hamsters, birds, turkeys, lambs, Jesus and even baby sisters all seemed to be killed and Ian didn’t understand who was responsible. It was probably his fault and perhaps he might be next
