The Proper Care and Feeding of Trains

The Z-Monster approached me today to talk about the train he could hear going by in the distance. The conversation went something like this:

Z: Mommy! A train! A train!
Me: Yes, I hear the train.
Z: The train is going away. Away to it's house.
Me: The train is going home?
Z: Yes. Home.
Me: Well, what will it do there?
Z: Eat!!!!
Me: It's going to eat? Wow. What do you think the train will eat?
Z: Eggs. Eggs and apples.
Me: Eggs and apples. How interesting.
Z: Train is going bye-bye to sleep. (pantomimes sleep and snoring)
Me: Wow, really? Where does the train sleep?
Z: In a bed, Mommy. With a blanket and pillow. (giving me the "DUH" look)
Me: Oh, I didn't know trains sleep in beds. Do train sleep with teddy bears?
Z: No, with Buzz Lightyear! (gasps and looks around) Buzz! Where is Buzz? (runs off)
