When I was really young (maybe 4 or 5), I didn't understand how cars worked or how they went so fast. I used to believe that little faeries lived behind the side view mirrors and would come out and push the cars, racing the other faeries that were pushing the other cars. I would get so excited when we would pass another, because that meant we were winning.
