A little diversion

This guy is part madman, part genius. Not sure what the percentages are, though.

Today is garbage pick-up day. The kids are on spring break this week, so no one but the grownups has to get up early, which throws the Tuesday morning trash routine out of wack. Last night I asked Twitch to go ahead and take the garbage can and recycle bin out to the road. Of course he didn't want to.

Twitch: Mom, what time will they come by to get the garbage?

Java: The driver called me today to say he would be here at 7:53 tomorrow morning.

Twitch: Oh. OK. 

Java: Gee whiz, son, I don't know when they'll be here! 

Twitch: You were being sarcastic??

Java: YES! The city isn't going to call and let everyone know exactly when their garbage will be picked up!

Twitch: Well they should.

And he honestly believes that. 

Refreshing

Today is garbage day. The garbage guys come by and tote our trash away. Our lovely little puppy, Ruby, is getting so old that she doesn't bark at them anymore. I don't know if it's because she can't hear them now or that she just doesn't care that much.

So this morning I spent some time emptying the trash. I don't know about you, but I feel better.
