Boys and Cars

Posted by Shoshana

I don’t know about your little boy, but my twin boys who are almost 4 years old are obsessed with cars, and Cars.

From left: Chick Hicks, Blue the King, Lightning McQueen and Doc Hudson, some of my boys' favorite toys.

And I am positive this is a genetic disposition rather than an environmental factor because I did nothing to encourage this early on. In fact, I bought them a baby doll once to try to acclimate them to a baby cousin they hadn’t yet met and they have had no interest in this baby.

From almost day-one they were playing with cars, trucks, tractors and airplanes. They stop in their tracks when a real one goes by on the road or overhead. It’s an amazing social experiment. Any day of the week they would rather play with their toy cars—most of them from the Pixar movie “Cars”—than do anything else, except eating brown ice cream. It’s uncanny.

I chalk it all up to them being boys. And we all know, boys will be boys.
