“Best day ever” is not how I would usually describe the experience of watching the Titanic. But for my 7 year old son it was apparently a dream come true.
Said son is obsessed with the Titanic.
At current count, we have seen two lego (re)creations, one model incarnation (mostly glued by patient husband) and multiple renditions of ‘my heart will go on’ – with at least one recorded should he (I) wish to show his friends in a few years.
Watching a movie is a different experience when you know the story. I can say that I have not experienced the intensity of living it before as I did that day seeing it through my son’s eyes.
A classic moment of light relief occurred during the love scene. “Why have they got no clothes on?”

I was pondering how to respond to son’s question, when Kate said to Leo “You’re trembling”.
Son immediately responded “Well, he wouldn’t be cold if he had clothes on”.
Wise words son, wise words indeed!
Have you had a lucky escape when comes to explaining the facts of life?
