JACOB A NAP? LILLY NO DIRT!

Yay, I got to have Miss Lilly and Master Jacob ride in the back seat of my pick-up as we drove from Bird's Smokehouse BBQ to my house.  Since it was a little warmer outside than usual, while we were moving slow, navigating the exit and the stoplight, I let them keep their windows down, but as we got out onto the highway I thought it too much wind so rolled the windows up.

"Huh?"

They looked around the window and at the door buttons.  Neither knew I could control the windows and lock them into place from my seat behind the wheel.

It was warm in the truck and their chatter was dying down, and Jacob looked decidedly sleepy.  As we were nearing closer to home, I cautioned them, "When we get to GrammyPam's, your Dad, his brothers and I are going to talk business around the kitchen table.  You two can go play, or you can go on the couch, or the living room carpet, or the back bedroom and take a nap in the sunshine."

4 year old Jacob immediately sat up, bugged his eyes and let out a loud, "WHA-A-A-T!"

For background you should know Miss Lilly and Master Jacob's grandfather is a big-wig at a company that is a leading provider in 6 states of aggregate, asphalt, and concrete.  

Also, for background it's good to know we had a trench going from the electrical ground box on the east of our driveway to our barn on the west of our driveway to lay new electrical lines for the barn to have it's own meter.  To fill in the trench my guys dumped a fresh layer of topsoil on it.   So its about 2.5 feet wide and 100 feet long and makes a great road for toy vehicles!   

Today, the Cozy Coups traveled that trench.  Lilly's Cozy Coup had a stuffed giraffe as passenger.

As I passed through, walking to the big black truck to talk to their dad, Miss Lilly's voice caught my attention.  I turned back to see what she was doing and about what she was talking.  I saw her holding the giraffe using it like a puppet, she shook its head making its eyes look down.  His nose was pointed to the dirt road.  She was stern in her admonition, "THAT should be concrete!"
