La roue de la Zamboni

Pour sa fête l'an dernier, j'ai acheté à petitloup une Zamboni Playmobil. Parce que je voulais qu'il adevienne familier avec cette réalité québécoise qu'estle hockey sur glace et que la Zamboni l'avait déjà fasciné dans une des vidéos (éducatives) qu'il regardait sur YouTube. Enfin bref, il l'a montée, puis il a vit perdu une roue et on l'a rangé dans sa boîte de Playmobils, jusqu'à ce qu'il retrouve récemment la roue manquante. Morale de l'histoire: ça ne nous prend pas grand-chose pour nous rendre heureux dans cette famille.

Zamborghini

Yesterday, Wolfie built a with his Duplos a sort of vehicle, which he called an "ice cleaner". My father got really impressed and explained to him that it was what we call a Zamboni, used to smoothen up the ice in an arena. It was an occasion for me to get my son interested about hockey, or ice hockey as they specify here to distinguish it from the other sort of hockey which is not hockey at all. So that was that and he had his tractors play a sort of hockey, but I digress. My wife could not for the life of her get the name properly, so she started calling it a "Zamborghini". Which made me laugh a lot. It sounds like a mix between a Zamboni and a Lamborghini. As strange as it sounds, I would absolutely love to see the hybrid vehicle.
