Once Upon a Train

Once upon a time, there lived a little boy named Sheazie Bear, with his mommy, his daddy, and his baby sister Jaida Bug. Sheazie loves trains.

One day, he took his mommy and baby sister, his Auntie Ain and his cousin Jamesie Cat, and his Auntie Netty on a train ride through the big city.

Unlike in the animation movie Polar Express, and much to Shea's disappointment, the conductor didn't call out "TICKETS! TICKETS! TICKETS!" And, he didn't use a puncher, only a scanner.

"Train tracks!" Sheazie squealed. 

But the novelty of train tracks wore off...

And the excitement as well... 

*Trains... tracks... I want to be a train engineer... Is there anything else to see?*

 

In the meantime, Jaida Bug was lulled to sleep by the steady thump-thump-thump of the tracks.

AIRPLANES! One airplane, two airplanes, twee airplanes... (He even saw a Mickey Mouse plane!) We made a quick visit to the airport.

*I want to fly an airplane. I want to be a pilot. I rode on that airplane to visit Auntie Raneeza in San Diego...*

All abooooard!

On the ride back to Seattle, Jaida Bug woke up.

*Kuya, we're not in Bellevue anymore...*

*Don't worry Jaida, we're on a train. A TRAIN!"

*Oh boy, a REAL train?!*

*Mommy, I like trains too!*

And for being such good boys on the train, Sheazie Bear and Jamesie Cat got some treats from the Candy store. 

"Look, I got sharks!" Shea boasted.

Jamesie got Nerds.

And Yours Truly, not that I am a kid, even though I behave like one sometimes, got this... (Thanks, Cousin Ain!)

And Sheazie was the happiest little train conductor in all of Seattle!

The End.
