We've decided that we need to document some of the cute, quirky things our kids do. Joshua loves watching the trash truck. Our apartment complex has a large trash compactor thing that all the trash is dumped into. A couple times a week a truck picks it up, hauls it away, and empties it somewhere. Joshua loves watching the process. Here's a typical conversation we have.
Me: Joshua the trash truck is here. Do you want to come watch it?
Joshua: Okaaaaaay!
He drops whatever he is doing then sprints into the dining area.
Joshua: Up, up, up!
Me: See the truck is lifting the dumpster onto the bed.
Joshua (waving): Hi, truck! Hi, truck! Hi, truck! Firetruck?
Me: No, buddy, this is a garbage truck, not a fire truck.
Joshua: Garbage truck?
Me: They take all of our trash and send it away.
We watch the loaded truck start to back up.
Joshua: Beep! Beep! Beep!
Then after the truck has gove on it's merry way, Joshua pleads with me.
Joshua: More, mommy! More truck.
Me (lifting him off the chair): It's gone, but it will be back when it is empty. I'll let you know when I see the truck again. Go play.
Joshua: Okaaaaaaaay!
