In the Mind of the Squeaker

The squeaker has seen two versions of A Christmas Carol, the most recent film and the older Muppets version. (The latter led to a funny exchange between the squeaker and his papa: "What are Muppets?" "Little puppets." "But you said 'Muppets.'" "Yes, they are Muppets." "But are they puppets?" and so on....)

Anyway, the squeaker said to me at breakfast: "The ghosts in A Christmas Carol are like the Three Fates."

"How so?" I asked.

"Well, there are three of them, and they are the past, present, and future."

I was surprised he knew that about the Fates. Not sure where he comes up with this stuff!
