Car Crazy

Eva loves the movie “Cars”.  She’ll go around the house trying to sing the Cheryl Crow song from the race in the opening scene, though she doesn’t know the words.   When we were at the grandparents’ house for Thanksgiving, Eva saw a toy Lightning McQueen car in the play box.  I don’t even think my Mom knew who the character was, since they never saw the movie, but she thought the kids might like to play with it.  When we got home, I discovered that Eva had smuggled the toy into her backpack, and now she wants to sleep with it at night.  “Can I sleep with Lightning?” she’ll ask.  “I love ‘Cars!’”
