Lord have mercy, this got me in my feels. I remember this phase but haven’t really thought about it. You brought it all back to life.

Them reciting the lines…what a feeling.

And yes we still have our cars…from Cars.

Thank you for going halfsies with me on the eBay lot! I still have all the Cars in storage. And I keep one ⚡️McQueen on my desk. Just brings me right back to that time. I’m so glad you liked the essay. And I’m so glad we go way back to Cars days ☺️

Love this! It can definitely be so very totally unexpected the way that some (often random to us) things become such a large and cherished part of your children’s day to day life. We are often caught off guard by their total fascination. Absorbed for weeks, months or even a few years by some story, character, toy, song, movie.... You have such a short window of time to watch...and sometimes share a fleeting fascination with a child.🚗

I love your last line and your observation! "...to share a fleeting fascination..." The window is indeed short! Thank you ❤️ I am so glad you loved it!

I must admit, I like cars also. It has and always will have a connection to my relationship. I seduced my lover of eleven years with a basket of cars merchandise! It's a story and a half!
