    I’m still trying to convince my wife that we can wait til our kid even asks to go to Disneyland before dropping that level of coin on a trip. I don’t remember my early childhood trip to Disneyland, but I remember my early teen trip fondly.

    My kid still wears the tracking bracelet Disney strapped on him 2 years ago. Hope they can tell me where he is soon.

    As a kid, I used to wait for the garbage truck at the window and excitedly wave at the workers when they did their job. I was a huge fan.

    Here in Germany, we celebrate the OG version of Santa, St. Nicholas who will tally up if you’ve been a good kid and give you sweets (usually someone from the local church will dress up as St. Nicholas and visit the houses of those who requested it and do a little show with poems and all that) on Dec 6th. Kids usually get chocolate figures of St. Nicholas for that day.

    So one Dec 6th, the (mostly Muslim mind you) garbage workers rang at our door and gave me this chocolate Nicholas and a bunch of sweets and all because every time they went by our house, I’d make their day with my excitement about their usually looked down upon job.

    Message is: thank the trash collectors every once in a while. You’d drown in filth without them.

      The trend of garbage guys being mini superheros for kids always cracks me up

      “Mom! Look! Its the guy who pilots the dragon truck!” Yall might as well be a power ranger, driving down your street once a week
