Miyuki has been a real Disney's Cars fan for a year and a half or so. And ever since she got her first few Cars toys she would do a peculiar thing: she would arrange them in a star with one car in the middle turned upside down. Well, when she was younger and having a lot more trouble communicating, we couldn't ask her why she was doing this. Sometimes it's a small 5-car, what we call, "car star," and sometimes it's a 15-car car star. On this day in particular, her dad and I went in her room in the morning to find a car star. Here's what was said... (translations of a 3-year-old's pronunciation are in red)
