My daughter is not yet 3 years old. Yesterday she wants to go outside and play. To my suprise, she goes into the garage and grabs a car wash pail and old sponge- and pitches a fit until I put Gold Class in the pail so she can wash "her truck".

So I watched her. She was immitating what she sees me doing. She washes the whole "truck" down, then goes to work on the wheel wells, under the hood. She even grabbed the can of Stoners to try and clean the fake front window.

I helped her dry it off, then we coat a coat of NXT on it (even though its plastic). Later in the day she was pouring pool water on the hood and saying, "beads". I may have corrupted my kid

 

you do realize that soon she will want to wash and DRIVE daddys truck right???

 

That's hilarious. Just think about it this way you're very lucky, you could have a kid that wants to throw trash all over your truck.

 

THats awesome!!! I remember when I got hooked I was more like 11 and dad and I waxed our Jeep Grand Cherokee, it was like the first year, 94 or 93 and we kept that so clean. Washing and waxing etc all the time.

Then I became the ocd one and he was like you can clean up the cars I ll jsut watch the races etc.

Except I call lastnight and hes handglazing our restored 55 Ford today. Without me I was pissed.


The 74 Mustang gets cleaned every Indy 500 day, except this yr. too busy at the races.

 

Are those Nittos' on her truck? haha

 

I guess the OCDness starts at an early age.

 

That's hilarious!

Between that, Jolly_Green_Giant's kid's expertise with a rotary and RollingRock's daughter's love of hyper dressing we have a whole breed of OCD'ers in years to come!

 

Congrats on the helper! They sure do come in handy for grabbing something you forgot, especially when they know what it is!

My helper. She had just turned 3 here, getting ready to help me wash the old commuter car.



She now knows about the 2 bucket method (always asking me why I have 2 buckets), knows what brushes are for what (one for the wheels and another for the tires), mitts for paint, spray "that stuff" on the paint when drying, spray "that stuff" on the tires...

 

Yes they do. Mine wanted to jump straight to rotary at 3 years old. LOL

 

jolly and your daughter have the same truck, it was just meant to be

 

That's a boy.

 

Are those Wet Okoles??

 

I think he was meaning to the OP Les.

 

Now thats awesome. That makes me want a kid more But being 20 its still a bit young for me, but man that must be awesome. Chips off the old blocks


I think he meant Jolly's son and Less22's daughter had the same trucks.

 

Awww... Those are too cute... Like Darren, that makes me want a family of my own, but I may be a bit young yet...
