We've been reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory as part of our bedtime ritual. Every evening, we read two chapters, and become submerged in the fantasy world of chocolate lakes, sugar grass, little creatures known as Oompa-Loompahs and salivate at the descriptions of the wonderful candy confections. Last night's chapter was about the gum chewing Violet Beauregard.
"Who would name their kid Violet?" Devlin commented, "Why would they want to give the name Violet when it means lots of guns and stuff like that?"
I struggled to keep a straight face while I explained the subtle difference between "Violet" and "violence".
