Today is garbage day. There has been much discussion today on the topic of our trash being picked up. People have been stating their views why the garbage will not be picked up. “It is a holiday.” It is Independence Day.” “No one is working today.”
I, however, was one of the few who believed the trash would be collected. We put out our trash can just in case the garbage man came today.
At 4:30, I saw the garbage truck zip through our neighbor. I shouted, “Yippee! I won!” My mom did not know what I was talking about. I explained I saw the garbage truck. It was coming to pick up the trash.
A few minutes later, our garbage was collected. My dad was shocked. “They picked up our trash!? I didn’t think they worked on holidays.”
And with that, I won the game.
I am sorry the trash man has to work today, but I am grateful for his service. He helps keep our city clean.
Happy Birthday America!
