NO BIAS

conorcar1.jpgI cannot believe how much my son loves cars. He knows all the brands and is now starting to memorize kinds of cars, as in a Toyota Camry vs. a Toyota Corolla.

He loves to point out the differences in cars AND trucks AND SUVs from hubcaps to tail lights. He also loves that he knows all the different logos for cars. He’s learning to read (memorize) the names on cars.

We were writing with sidewalk chalk yesterday and he spelled out- TOYOTA. He has a special affinity to Toyotas because both of his grandmothers drive Toyota Camrys. Thus- that IS his favorite car.

It’s become another learning tool and it’s fun. The part that is especially sweet is that he makes no judgment on how cool a car is in relation to its price. I don’t mention prices of cars to him. I figure he has the rest of his life to think about car prices.

Actually, I don’t mention the price of anything… he’s three. It is so fun to look at the world through his eyes- no bias; if a car has a cool trunk or headlights or door handle, he points it out and he thinks it’s cool. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a Honda or a Hyundai, a Volkswagen or a Volvo, a Fiat or a Ferrari.

Wouldn’t it be nice if people could view things, events and other people and enjoy them… without bias? Could the world work that way? Maybe… I’d love to find out.
