Madeline's first train ride


The sheer unadulterated joy of a child having a new experience.  We have all undoubtedly had a variety of these when we were young, but that sensation is hard to replicate as an adult.  But we can share hers vicariously.

Discussion at the MadeMeSmile subreddit.

Reposted from 2019 because it is one of my all-time favorite video clips.

  2. One of the best things about having kids is the vicarious thrill of experiencing something new. As an adult the only time I feel that for myself is when I read TYWKIWDBI.

  3. She's just precious. I love her expressions and that remark - "Oh my goodness" makes me smile.

  4. Dunno if it's her first time *seeing* a train. The caption to the video says it's her first *ride* on a train.

  5. i love how she puts her words together (at about the 7 second mark): 'look at how it goes to us.'.

  6. according to the youtube page, that video was posted eight years ago. i wonder if she is still as enthralled now and she was then?
