I don't know whether to find it amusing or disturbing that my three-year-old son loves to watch videos on YouTube of things going crash. Demolition derbies. Monster truck rallies. And his favorite - train crashes. Every day, my son asks me to pull up videos of train crashes on YouTube. And after I remind him to say "please," I oblige.
I type in the search terms and turn the computer over to my son. Even at three, he has mastered the art of pointing and clicking. He has several train crash videos he likes to watch, but one of his favorites is an experimental train crash with a nuclear flask. For whatever reason, he loves this video, and plays it over and over and over. I really hope that these video viewings haven't raised a red flag with the Department of Homeland Security. They probably think we're watching the train crash into a nuclear flask so we can figure out how to get one to detonate. Or maybe they think we're domestic terrorists who want to derail trains. Terrorists who also have an affinity for Bob The Builder and Thomas the Tank Engine?
Just for fun - here is my son's favorite YouTube video.
