Knock 'em down again

Every Tuesday is garbage day over here.  We go all out and put a garbage can and recycle bin (it's also a garbage can) out by the street.  The recycle bin is usually overflowing.  What can I say?  We like to recycle. 

Every week, okay, maybe not EVERY week, but, most weeks, Nick backs the car out of the driveway and ends up knocking down the garbage can.  (we have a pretty short driveway, so it's not like he can't see that the garbage can is right there) This week it was the recycle bin.  It was windy today and there was papers flying down and around the street.  Nick was out there trying to pick them up. 

When he came home I had to ask.

"Every week you back out of the driveway and hit the garbage can.  You know that garbage day is Tuesday, why don't you watch out for the cans?

"I didn't know that garbage day was Tuesday.  Besides, I couldn't see the can out the back window."

"Didn't you see the can there BEFORE you got into the car?  You should always look behind the car before you get in.  You drive like you're an 80 year old woman driving a Lincoln Town Car backing out of our driveway.  You don't care what you hit."

For those of you who don't remember that Seinfeld Episode,  Here is the link.  (probably best seen when on Internet Explorer)

All we can do now is hope that Nick looks when he backs up on our driveway.

Especially on Tuesdays.
