You Can Sleep on a Train

On the way home tonight we were stopped by a train in downtown Orlando. It was an Amtrack passenger train and I pointed out the people you could see inside eating and moving about, and the sleeping cars that followed.

They had no idea you could sleep on a train. I said, "Sure you can. Like in 'Some Like it Hot'. "

They said they had no idea what that movie was either, so I showed them clips when we got home. Now they are insistent that we watch the movie tonight.

It's fantastic how how one simple observation can turn into many wonderful teachable moments, among them..........that life is wonderful when you're together, the classics have no age limit on appreciation, and that you actually can sleep on trains, dress as a woman, and still get the girl :-)
