Matty is at home with his mum looking at photos in an album. He draws his mum into conversation by referring back to the family events that were happening when the pictures were taken. He comments on a car that features in a photo and asks mum, 'Didn't we have a black car?'
Mum helps him remember the family cars he has known, and refers to them by colour. They talk about what happened when the old car was taken away and the new one arrived.
The conversation switches easily from the past to the present as Matty makes links with the car he can see outside the window, and poses questions (and possible answers) about where daddy will park the car when he returns home from work.
