So what happens when you tell DH that we're going to Chattanooga, Tennessee. You get to hear an off-key version of:"Pardon me, boyIs that the Chattanooga choo choo?Track twenty-nineBoy, you can gimme a shineCan you affordTo board a Chattanooga choo chooI've got my fareAnd just a trifle to spare"…over and over again (although admittedly she only knew the words to the first line and the rest of it sounded like Proud Mary by Tina Turner?).
