Dumps is obsessed by his Thomas jacket. Wears it day and night, inside and outside. Obsession to the point of his Dad losing his hair, and his mom prematurely aging.

Dad has taken Dumps aside multiple times and given him a lecture – “Pumpi, no Thomas jacket inside the house, only outside.” – with no impact.

On one of his tantrums today, Mom screamed at Dumps – “No way you are getting that jacket”. A sad Dumps goes to Dad, who screams too – “Dumps, what has Dad said about Thomas jacket inside the house?”

Dejected and crying profusely, Dumps strolls over to Anika,  gives her a huge hug, looks up at her with beady eyes and wails, “Ta-ta, I need the Thomas jacket”. Anika looks at him with sad eyes and gives him a huge hug back.
