Best Traffic Jam Ever

On our way to the park today, we got stuck in traffic for about 20 minutes (Broken water line or something. By the time we got there, there were 5 police cars and one lonely man jack-hammering a little hole in the middle of the road). For a while we were blocked in by 3 garbage trucks. Here is an exact transcript of Atticus's excitement:

"GARBAGE TRUCK! IS IT EMPTY MOMMY? LOOK! THERE IT GOES! AAAAAH TWO MORE! COUNT THE GARBAGE! ONE, TWO, THREE GARBAGE! CATCH THEM! LET'S CATCH THEM! LET'S CATCH THEM MOMMY! YOU WANT TO CATCH THEM? WAY FUN! LOOK AT THE GARBAGE TRUCKS! IT'S A SIDE LOADER!"

Later, when I told Atticus it was time to leave the park, he got really excited and started yelling about playing in the garbage when we got home. We got some funny looks, but it was the happiest Atticus has ever been to leave the park.

That picture reminds me that I have another word to add to your list of your synonyms for barf. "Yak." I don't know why we didn't think of that before. Nice picture.
