Zoom! C R A S H GO, Mark Martin! To watch my sons in action is surely to amaze Your heart with all the passion they put into daily play. A happier child cannot be found than these two with their toy cars. And imagination has no bounds when racing around in the backyard. The sound effects are just the beginning of their storyline~ When they tire of pretending, they put their cars in a line and admire the vast collection (a hundred seventy-four at last count!). These boys show much affection for the cars that Hotwheels puts out. These tiny cars are in the chairs, the beds and the tank for fish. I find them underneath the stairs and even in our dog’s dish. They’re everywhere they shouldn’t be and in our home run loose... I’d swear if it didn’t sound crazy, these hotwheels reproduce! Many parents, though, can relate, even some with small daughters. These race car toys create amusement that last for hours. Overall, I must say (although sometimes I wonder!), Hotwheels cars are here to stay, ‘cause they’re what my kids do want for. I only wish I had the chance to turn back the hands on the clock and take advantage of circumstance and buy up all the Hotwheels stock!

LOL we sure needed this one around here! I can relate but not so much to hot wheels. My son didn't take an intrest in those, but my 2 daughters and the barbies and accessories. hahaha....and now the pokemon stuff, cards, cards are everywhere! Thanks for such an uplifting piece! |

~January... This was just the cutest poem! I don't have children yet of my own..but I have two sister and lots of boy cousins. So I know all too well what you mean in this poem, about them being everywhere. I was a bit of a tomboy myself growing up and i loved "boy" toys  Great job!Amy ~Live today as though it were your last but prepare for tomorrow as though it were here~ |

I can really relate to this!!! Now that they are grown and have real cars, they still call 'em Hotwheels. Sometimes I really long for the days when they could park their cars in the backyard LOL. Very cute poem and thanks for the memories. Poetry~ Words falling on paper, painting a dream. Shawna R. Holder Boise, Idaho |

They do reproduce. Your boys have the hot wheel grandchildren of the ones my boys had many years ago. They haven't changed a bit. Thanks for the memory. |

ROFLAMO.....my son is only 21 months old, and is already in love with Hot Wheels!!! He owns about 15 of them, and we can't ever leave the house without one clutched tightly in his hand! Thanks for the poem...now I know what I have to look forward to! Bobbycat =^..^= ~~Blessed Be!~~ |
