Trash Men

I remember when I was young we had a big yard and we did some serious yard clean up.

My little brother dragged the trash cans full of leaves and dirt to the curb.

The trash men left it so we left it.
The next week they left it again.
Then the next week.

So Mom got on the phone and asked why they weren't emptying our cans. The person at the other end somehow knew which house we were and explained that the can was just too heavy. My mom says "Oh, I'm sorry...my eight year old son didn't tell me it was too heavy when he carried it out."

The next day wasn't trash day but for whatever reason the trash men showed up and emptied it.
