First off, i posted last week that my front garden was getting some work
done to it, so my Mustang was brought away for a while until it was all finished.
I arrived home today confronted with a very interesting story.
My mother was walking up to our house, and noticed a woman and a small boy,
about 4 or 5 standing looking into the front garden. The little boy was crying.
My mother overheard the boy crying say to his mother "where's the Mustang?"
Now my mother observed the situation without giving anything away.
The mother said to the child "maybe its at another house" to which the sobbing
child replied "NO, IT WAS HERE!"
So my mother went over to the woman, and said that yes, indeed this IS the house
with the Mustang, and the woman explained she knew and was trying to console her child!
Apparently, every time the woman with the child passes my house
the child gets very excited and says "theres the Mustang!!"
Knowing that most of the time (when im not home) the car is covered, the child
asks the mother if she will take off the cover to look at it! Of course she doesnt, but
its amazing that the child can recognise the car, considering its covered basically all but an hour
a week.
The child then became very excited when my mother said the car would be back tommorrow.
But, this isnt the first scenario ive known of where my car has been an object of facination for
children. A neighbour of mine had her daughter and small child return for a few weeks to stay.
The child in this case was about 2 1/2 - 3 years old (still in a buggy). She told me that every time
they got near my house, the child insisted they had to stop for about 5 minutes so the kid
could look at the Mustang!
I'm amazed quite honestly that such small children can pick apart my Mustang as being 'different'
from the rest, and how fascinated they are by it, to the point where one started to cry when he saw it
was gone!
Wow, maybe they know something i dont? /forums/images/icons/shocked.gif
