Train #28
For some reason Corey has been on this short kick all year and is still. Short kick meaning he's wearing shorts for as long as he can into the year instead of pants like normal people. He has been wearing them into the winter supposedly in a competition with a friend at school to see who could wear them the longest. He's already won but still wears them and wore them on our trip back here to MI. Of course when arriving in Chicago he finally realized how cold it is wearing shorts in winter as I took him on a short walk down Michigan Avenue downtown. After our long wait to jump on the next train to get to Niles we went into the loading area and stood in line with hundreds of people passing through. One lady in the front checked tickets and as the travelers passed through she'd say 28 and send them on their way towards loading area #28. It went on forever 28, 28, 28, 28, 28, 28, 28 each person passing through one at a time. I was wondering how boring that job that would be and if she ever got to at least shout out a different number. 28, 28, 28, we got a little closer..... 28, 28, 28.... finally it was our turn. 28! , I go through, 28! Ethan passes, 28! Corey passes and behind me I hear stop the 28 cycle and yell out.....

"SHORTS!"
I turned around and there Corey was in his shorts standing next to her. She supposedly was stunned probably even confused seeing somebody wearing shorts in the middle of winter in Chicago and took a break from #28 long enough to announce it. We got a laugh out of it. She paused for a couple seconds in shock I guess and then jumped right back into the 28 routine again for everyone behind us. Corey thought it was hilarious.
