A conversation like this comes up now and then.
MEEZA: Where is 'waterloo'?
ME (remembering the battle movie): It was where Napoleon Bonaparte lost. It was his last battle. Rod Steiger was Napoleon in the movie...
HUBBY(with 'stop it mom look' at me) : Waterloo is the railway station where Daddy used to take trains from London to Bournemouth where Daddy went to school.
MEEZA (lighting up, more interested in Dad's history than Napoleon's): Can we go to Bournemouth soon?
