The benefit of Mr Bolt

While I was talking to my parents on the phone, my nephew offered the following fine off-stage Tintin reference:
Pater: | ...and we still don't have a kitchen floor, despite the salesman promising your mother that it would be done by the weekend. |
Me: | I bet he didn't say which weekend though... |
Nephew: | [ in the background ] Grandpa, isn't the floor man just like Mr Bolt in the The Castafiore Emerald? |
Both perfectly appropriate, wonderfully funny and supremely geeky. I just love the fact that he loves Tintin every bit as much as I did/do...
