It seems to be catching.

Last night I went with Jared to Lectura Dantis. We took the BART (regional transit train that goes under the bay, for those of you "not from around here"). When the train came up the first thing in my head was "choo choo! Whooooo! Whoooo! All Aboard!" I guess not having Amália around to say this, I had to fill in myself, or the experience of hearing, seeing, and riding on a train was incomplete.

This morning, though, through all the noise of East Oakland in the morning, Amália picks out the whistle of a distant freight. "Choo choo! Whoooo! Whooo! All aboard!" Ah, how nice it is to hear her say that.
