Autobots, Roll Out

What is Andrew up to these days?  In a word-transformers.  I am not sure what started this interest other than the fact that my parents had a transformer-type car but he is now pretty much obsessed with them.  He has transformer pjs, 2 t-shirts, several autobots and a decepticon.  If you'd asked me what those words meant a few months ago, I'd have no idea.  In fact, unbeknownst to us, Sophia and I bought Andrew a transformer water bottle last year.  At the time, we had no idea what the symbol on it meant and he had no interest in them.  It just happened to be the only one we could find.  However, I now can tell you that Bumblebee is an autobot and not the insect that I hate so much.  The autobots' leader is Optimus Prime and his brother, Megatron, is the leader of the decepticons.  His latest request is for dinobots, a dinosaur transformer Erik introduced him to.  The problem is that dinobots have not been sold in stores for a long time and Andrew doesn't understand why we won't pay $100 to bid on one on Ebay.  We promised him we'd keep an eye on them.  This morning Andrew woke up and the first words he greeted me with were, "Did you find any dinobots?"  Like I said, he's got a one-track mind these days.
