It's the Toodles! Toodles is Mickey Mouse's (and his Clubhouse gang's) friendly tool helper that pops out whenever they call "Oh, Toodles!" Toodles seems analogous to the 'guardian angel' that helps people in times of difficulty.
Actually this is Juan Or's story about money that somehow got linked to Toodles.
One day, after leaving the office late, Mommy went to pick up Juan Or from the babysitter's house, but turned out, his paternal Grandpa had already come to pick him up. So Mommy went to the in-laws' house to pick him up. When Juan Or went into Mommy's car, he was carrying a plastic jar full of coins. Mommy guessed those coins must have come from his grandparents' loose change stored in one old Bylcream container meant for petty uses. This was the conversation that transpired:
Mommy: Juan Or, you gasak (usurp) all the coins. So if Ah Gong got no money to use, how?
Juan Or: (cheeky smile)
Grandpa: Hahaha....never mind-lah. Let him hold the coins first. Later can bring back here to let him play again.
Grandpa: I asked Juan Or just now whose money is that. He said,"Juan Or's money!" woh!
(Everyone laughed).
Later in the car, Mommy asked Juan Or the same question again and same thing, he replied,"Huan Or's money!" (Juan Or pronounces his name like a South American - 'h' sound for 'j' spelling. Fine, never mind.
Later we reached home and Mommy ate dinner at the dining table while Juan Or poured out the coins all over the tea table to play with and putting them into the coin box and toy sink as well.
Then Mommy heard Juan Or kept on calling "Toodles!" but Mommy never bother to turn over to see what he was up to. Mommy merely assumed that he was in the mood for watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and therefore was indirectly asking Mommy to play a Clubhouse DVD for him. But he kept on calling "Toodles" so Mommy decided to go over to where he was.
Apparently this was what he was up to!
Say "Oh, Toodles!"
And Juan Or went on to make many, many more Toodles from the coins! ^-^
