Dear all
Jane Stemp Wickenden ask: What is it with english schoolchildren and
smashed tomatoes??
Smashed tomatoes translates to babies/toddlers. Children cannot eksperience
with grown ups beating up children but they can see smashed tomatoes and
the similarities to blood. Come on ketchup, is a common joke in
kindergartens, perhaps in a global context...
When 99% of children in a kindergarten demands to tell you this joke about
the two tomatoes crossing a highly trafficked motorway, it must mean
something else to them then...
All the best,
Thor G.
