Sylvan educates Mommy about trains

Posted by jonesey on Sunday, 15 March 2009, 21:23

As we drove past a very long train today, we were talking about the empty lumber cars and the hopper cars.  Sylvan knows both of these cars from watching one of his favorite train movies.

Julie asked me: “Besides coal, what else do they put in hopper cars?”

Before I could respond, Sylvan piped up from the back seat: “Bunnies!”

Get it?  “Bunnies?” “Hopper?”

Yeah, it took us a second too. We thought he was just giving an absurd answer, but he was right on.

It still cracks me up when I think about it. Both him saying it, and the image of a hopper car full of bunnies.
