oh jj...

hard to see cuz our windows are really dirty! but, jj backed the durango out of the driveway this morning, and forgot he had just put the trash at the curb! from bed, i heard a cruuunch... then a pause... then another cruuuuunch (it was the "screw it, i just have to finish this now" crunch). i ran to the window in excited anticipation: and to my delight opened the blinds to find jj picking up LOTS of trash that was strewn all about the road. oh, the endless entertainment that is life with jj. grabbed my phone in time to get these last few moments in photo proof.

i thought i had made the "jj is not allowed to back any vehicles" rule clear, but apparently not... the rule was instituted after the infamous audi/durango incident - when the durango was parked behind the audi. i reminded jj of this. then he walked past the durango to take the trash to the curb (why is the trash always a party to these incidents??). then he walked right past the durango again, and got into the audi, and backed right into the durango. thats my favorite.

i love the tire marks thru the grass, too. fills in the picture. i cannot stop laughing when i think about the noises i heard, and i can just imagine the thoughts going thru jj's little hampster wheel, and the disgusted-with-himself scrunchy face...

backs durango.

CRUUUNCH.

"what the..."

looks side to side in utter confusion, and checks all rearview mirrors. finally realizes its the trash he just put at the curb, which he is now straddling. forward or backward, no way to avoid running it over again.

probably something like "g-d damn it!!!"

then, CRUUUUUUNCH.

then lots of head shaking, probably a few more light expletives, and mumblings to himself, as he starts picking up the trash and putting it back in the bin... and more head shaking...

and me laughing hysterically, from the upstairs window, as i take pictures.

and the kicker: they didnt even come to get the trash today. its next week.
