Garbage Digger

Why is it that the garbage isn't garbage until the garbage man takes it away? I am always having to hide the things that should be in the garbage underneath dirty diapers or somehow that broken toy everyone has been stepping on is their favorite toy and should NOT go into the trash! John apparently has not had as much practice knowing what can be put on the top of the trash! He had thrown this very old ice cream away and I turn around to see Connor with a shovel spoon (that is what we call the big soup spoons) helping him self!
