The sadness of Big Digger

When we got back to our empty flat in Egg, Carsten immediately asked for big digger.  We told him it wasn't there. When Natalie went downstairs to do the laundry, Carsten looked up and said "Go get big digger please!" After that we explained that it was on a boat to New York, and Carsten was beyond sad - we had to use Bob the Builder to help him feel better.


Actual conversation from earlier tonight:
Carsten: "Uncle Kai?"
Natalie: "Uncle Kai went on a trip to Germany."
Carsten: "Uncle Kai in Germany."
Natalie: "That's right, and we're staying in Switzerland."
Carsten (sadly): "Big digger on [a] boat to New York"


We're still waiting for the following sequence:
Carsten "Big digger?"
Natalie: "Big digger is on a boat to New York."
Carsten: "New York Please!"
