男の子の乗り物好きってこれだったのね。電車に乗ったり見たりが大好きで、夜は片手に一つずつ新幹線や飛行機を握ったままでないと寝ない。この間、新幹線DVDを買った。以来何回かかけてはいたけれども、アラタが途中で止めちゃうし、食い入るように見ていたわけでもない。でも、覚えている！
けんた＆てっぺい兄弟のママ、ゆうこさんから電車の本をいただいた時は、パラパラとめくって、いきなり「きゅうしゅうしんかんせん！」「は？」と、思った私は写真の下に小さく印刷されている「九州新幹線…」にビックリ。次の私のリアクションは「え、読めるの？」
おもちゃ売り場ではトミーの新幹線を手にとって「レールスター！」おじいちゃんは、パッケージに「レールスター」と書いてあるから驚いて、そして（男の子はみんなこうなんだけど）自分の孫だけが賢いんだと喜んで（おじいちゃんはみんなこうなんだろうな）、思わず買ってあげちゃった。
I've heard boys are obsessed with cars and trains. Arata is no exception. He loves watching trains and cars. He can't go to bed without holding trains or cars in his both hands. I bought a DVD of Shinkansen - Japanese super express trains. We have played it for a couple of time but often Arata turned it off in the middle and he's never seemed to concentrate on it. But he can remember a lot!
When Yuko, Kenta & Tetsu's mum, gave Arata a book of trains, Arata was browsing through it and suddenly said, "Kyushu shinkansen! (the name of one of Shinkansens)" I couldn't understand what Arata was saying and when I found "Kyushu Shinkansen...." in a small print under the photo, I thought "Can he read it??"
At a toy shop, Arata held one of the toy trains and announced, "Rail star! (the name of another type of Shinkansen)" My dad read the package and he was so surprised. He was so happy that Arata was so bright and bought the train for him! Well, all boys are like Arata and all granddads are like my dad?
