About
It all started with a tickle. Roger Hargreaves’ son, Adam asked him what a tickle looked like. In response, Roger drew a small orange man with extraordinarily long arms that could reach anywhere and tickle anyone.
And so, Mr. Tickle, the first of the Mr. Men, was born. Mr. Tickle was soon joined by Mr. Greedy, Mr. Happy, Mr. Nosey, Mr. Sneeze, and Mr. Bump.
The books were an instant hit and Roger went on to create many more Mr. Men and Little Miss characters. What Roger really wanted was to make children laugh, which is probably why his own favourite character is Mr. Silly.
Call 'em what you want, babe
There are some things that, as we get older, we kind of have to get over. We have to grow up, move on and be adults. Things like sleeping with a nightlight on (although loadshedding has helped out a lot there), cutting the crusts off our sandwiches, not eating peas, believing in Santa Claus - you get the idea.
There are other things, though, that we really don't have to get over. Like enjoying stories before bed (as long as we're the ones doing the reading, and not out loud), nap times on weekends and, without a doubt, a nice comfy pair of pyjamas. Some spell it 'pajamas', most call them 'PJs', and a guy we know named JP simply calls them 'jambos'.
We don't care what you call them or how you spell them, because spelling tests are also something we've had to get over. What we can't get over, though, is the great deal we have on PJs from Core Classics today.
