Are We Raising a Redneck?
So I know it’s pretty common for little boys to like cars and trucks, but Peyton really likes cars a trucks. They have totally eclipsed balls as far as “coolest thing in the world.” When we’re walking through a parking lot he points at all the cars like we’re at some kind of car show and exclaims excitedly that they all have wheels. “Caaaa!!!! Weeee!!!!!”
Garbage trucks are all the rage, and in fact he calls all big vehicles, except for busses, “baabee gocks”
He’s been watching the Disney movie Cars with Dave occasionally and really enjoys it. Dave put Nascar on the other day and Peyton literally threw down the toy he was playing with, ran over to the couch, shouted, “SIT!” and was then totally enthralled by Nascar for the next 15 minutes. He likes that those cars have wheels and that they go round and round. Round and round is one of his favorite games, he likes running in a circle around anything, no matter how big or small.
This all seemed like pretty normal toddler boy behavior until the other day when he found the Consumer Reports 2009 car buying guide. I carry it around in the diaper bag now because he LOVES IT! All I can think of is Joe Dirt’s love for Autotrader magazine…
Yep, take it from a rural Nevada redneck ..Peyton is on his way…..
Don’t fret too much, not’n wrong with bein’ a redneck
-but too much exposure to Joe Dirt’s might have to be monitored
cheers from Reno and Grace Austin, we’ve had fun watching following your blog.
Perhaps we need to take him for a ride in Wes’ big pick-up truck!?
And then there’s my friend Vanessa’s husband, who has an engineering degree from Bucknell and whose love of cars has taken him high up the food chain at Daimler……
