Bit too much Guinness?

We went drinking in London with some friends of mine from Secondary School.

We found that several pubs in London don't allow minors, so we had to drink outside the pubs (drinking on the sidewalk with a minor is legal). Sven was very good about pub crawling with us. He flirted with lots of young, good looking women around Convent Gardens. He even tried to invite some of the women to play at our house.

At the end of the day, Sven decided to nap in Erik's lap, while we finished a round of drinks. Danny thought it would be funny to insert Sven's straw into an empty Guinness glass and pose it next to the sleeping Sven.

Puns

Its been a busy summer. We went on a two week trip to Ireland and London. Now we are settling into the new house. Sven's grandparents, Fafa and Granma, have moved into their mother-in-law unit on the ground floor. Sven loves to go down to their apartment to see what' going on.

On the flight home from London (4 days before the recent big terrorist scare) Sven was watching some cartoons - I guess one featured an egg-like character. The next day Sven said "the egg person in the movie said there's the egg-sit." Then Sven laughed at the pun. This is the first time that Sven has repeated a pun to us. Is this a good development?
