The name Mangocrash came from my two year old (at the time) who would always have at least one matchbox car in each hand. One afternoon during a snack he crashed his matchbox car into his mango and declared “mangocrash!”. The name stuck with me. I liked the image of the juicy delicious mango being wrecked by a careless matchbox. I felt like I could identify with the mango after the many “mommy crashes” Francis and I had had over his first couple of years. Now as I prepare for another baby boy and the beginning of my life with three men the mango crash signifies the chaos I am excited to be a part of. And this is where I hope to share those crashes.
The Mangocrash will respond to all matchbox car crashes. A mango crash happens when a matchbox car crashes into a mango and you yell MANGOCRASH. It doesn’t have to be a matchbox car a mango crash can also happen between dinosaurs and mango’s. The defining moment of a mango crash is when you yell MANGOCRASH. You can mango crash with anything.
