i think this is a 'boy' thing

now, i am all for equality among the sexes, but i do think there are some areas where genes just tend to affect most kids along gender lines. and i think this is one of those areas.

like another little boy i know, caleb is fascinated by cars, and the bigger, the better. when we hear the garbage truck passing through on monday and thursday mornings, i can see him getting excited, and either on walks or from inside, i'll try to make sure he gets a good look.

well today, a firetruck came right to our street, and parked practically right in front of our house! unfortunately, caleb was smack in the middle of a nap, and i was not about to wake him, although i half expected to hear him wake up any minute from the commotion on the street. he did not, and like an idiot, before i knew what i was doing, i thought, i'll take a picture and show it to him later.'


well, maybe he will be able to appreciate it, if he can make out the image past the dusty old screen.
