I Have a Golden Ticket!

"Mommy, Charlie found the golden ticket!" was the first thing said to me last night by the kids after we got home late from NYC.  They've been listening to their teacher read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl.  I get periodic updates on the plot (I read it years ago and mostly know the story from the original Gene Wilder film, not liking the Tim Burton version as well) and they have been eagerly waiting to see if Charlie would get to go to the factory (being young, I guess they didn't just assume from the title).  And one day, when they told me about the workers in the factory that people had only glimpsed in the windows of the factory and I called them Oompa Loompas, they got mad at me because that hadn't  been mentioned in the book yet!  The kids have even taken to making paper Wonka Bars and hiding golden tickets in them.  But in their candy factory, everyone is a winner!
