Boys and Trucks

Never in a million years would I have guessed that I could skillfully differentiate between a backhoe loader and an excavator. 

My vocabulary has grown to include words like articulated dump truck and skid steer loader. 

When driving by myself, I find myself not knowing what to do when an ambulance or tanker truck passes me.  Everything within me wants to point and shout out the vehicle's name.

It's no longer a mystery to me when my boy has a nervous break-down because the helicopter we just saw flew away.

I am a mom of boys.  Boys like trucks.  And here is one of my beloved boys with one of his beloved trucks.
