The boy doesn't want to leave home. He wants to play with his cars. He wants yogurt and juice with greens in it. "But" I say,"we'll go on a train. We'll take the train to work." He looks up, his mouth is a little wider. "The train" he whispers. He puts his shoes on fast now.

Has anyone ever provided a satisfactory explanation as to why children are so fascinated by and enamored of trains? Same question for adults. I'm hoping the explanations are different.

trains
construction vehicles
dinosaurs

The big three. It's a near universal fascination.

Can we add 'big holes in the ground' to the list too?

And punching.
And pointing.
And pooping.
And looking at poop.
At calling people "poopyhead."

Scatology.
