Kyler and Cars - and Melissa's pictures

Kyler loves the movie Cars. He has since before he turned 2. As a matter of fact, he had a Cars birthday party when he turned 2 and is having one again this year. In the past week or so the Cars obsession has risen to a new high...or low.

Our family members have become Cars characters. Seriously, he calls himself Lightning all the time. When I call him Kyler he corrects me.

Melissa is Sally. She sometimes even calls herself Sally. And the other day at Brookshire's the checkout lady asked Melissa what her name was and before Melissa or I could answer Kyler pipes up with, "She's Sally....and I'm Lightning!" I looked at her and told her I did NOT name my child Lightning. And that Melissa's name isn't Sally. The lady looked kinda confused.

Brian is Mack. And I'm Flo. He doesn't really call me Flo much, maybe because I don't respond to it. :D

Anyway, tonight...Brian was telling Kyler to do something and SERIOUSLY called the kid Lightning without even thinking about it. REALLY? Please, Lord, no. My children are named KYLER and MELISSA. I'm all for pretending. For a brief time. And then can we go back to real life?
