Cars! Cars! Cars!

So, the Queen of Spain was telling us how the Count was obsessed with the movie “Cars”. I haven’t seen it yet, and my little Doodlebug is too little to sit through a movie in a theater. At 22 months, I won’t even attempt to take him. But I must say that McDonald’s is pissing me off because they have the “cars” in their Happy Meals.

Little Dawson is upset because he doesn’t have that purple car he wants. We got the red one, the truck and the bus. And he plays with them everyday. All I hear is “Truck! Bus! Tractor!” Wait. There’s no tractor is there? He must be getting too excited. So now I find myself going to McDonald’s once a week in hopes of getting the damn purple one. This is totally screwing with Weight Watchers, so we then must go for a walk to burn off the chicken nuggets. And Dawson insists on taking these cars with him.

The joys of parenthood. Ugh. I’m told it will get worse once he’s older. I may have to boycott Disney and McDonalds the entire 3rd year of his life!
