Where is the car with the flashing lights - 5/25/08

Today is the day of the Indianapolis 500. Being obsessed with the movie Cars we figure Marshall would enjoy watching it. When he wakes up from nap, I go in and ask him if he knows what is on tv. He smiles real big, says "race cars!" and runs into the living room. He sits and stares at the tv for a few moments. Then, instead of being impressed by the fast race cars, he simply asks "where is the car with the flashing lights?" Apparently, the pace car is more impressive to him than any-ol-car going 200+ mph.

Granted there is a little background info needed here. Just a few days ago, he was "rewarded" for continuing to sleep in late (yes, we have bribed our son to sleep in past 5:45am) and he got Charlie Checker, the pace car who has but a tiny part in Cars as the reward. As it goes with most kids the newest toy is by far the best toy, so he is currently obsessed with the pace car. So forget about those sweet ultra-fast Indy cars, I want to see a normal car with yellow flashing lights drive around the track making all of the race cars drive behind at a quarter speed. This was the most exciting part to him, the laps AFTER a crash.
